  1. Kiva - Loans that change lives

    I was trying to remember the name of this micro-loans site the other day and today it popped up on Cool Tools.

  2. Cnewton.com: List: Starbucks Terms of Art

    A list of jargon used by Starbucks employees. Industry phrases always fascinate me but… how about explanation of what they mean? (via Waxy)

  3. Hedged down: Practical Django Projects

    For future reference if/when I have a look at this book, updated code examples. (via Blech)

    I like insanely useful tips. Just dipping my toes in Python at the mo so this may come in useful. (via Blech)

  5. Improve your jQuery - 25 excellent tips

    Lots of handy tips for people like me who have only dabbled in jQuery so far. (via Infovore)

  6. Shoemakers.org.uk - Roosters

    I got a pair of boots from Roosters over twenty years ago and (after a long time of not wearing them) I still like them.

  7. West End Whingers

    I’m enjoying this blog’s theatre reviews. Intelligent but down to earth and nothing too obscure.
