Links from February 2010 (Phil Gyford’s website)

LRB · Anne Enright · Diary: I want a current affairs-only newspaper by the LRB full of articles written like this.
Dial 01 for London: Lovely. Isn't the internet fun sometimes. (via Crackunit)
From Fish to Infinity - Opinionator Blog - NYTimes.com: The start of a series explaining maths to adults. Sounds good. There's a link to Steven Strogatz's own RSS feed at the bottom of the right column. (via Kottke)

When Science & Poetry Were Friends - The New York Review of Books: I liked this Freeman Dyson article from last year, recounting the scientific world of 1770-1830 and comparing it to today.
LRB · Daniel Soar · Short Cuts: An article from May 2009 about the @ sign, followed by some fascinating letters about what it's called in other countries.
Byrnereese's mt-plugin-profiler at master - GitHub: Hopefully useful Movable Type plugin for working out which bits of your templates are taking ages to rebuild.
Melody: Community Powered Publishing: An in-development open source CMS designed to be compatible with Movable Type. Not sure why, but maybe it's interesting...?

YouTube - Avatar Review (Part 1 of 2): From the guy who did that long Star Wars review. This is also wonderful. Intelligent, funny, silly. "I haven't rolled my eyes that much since that demonic possession."
The Online Photographer: Old TIME, New TIME: A nice comparison of two copies of Time magazine, from 1968 and today.
PersonalNews: Kind of odd "individual newspaper" that combines your choice of pages from some newspapers.
Photos of my models: Amazing photos... of *models*... keep watching until you see the little models to scale. (via The Online Photographer)

Know Before You Go: Tickets May Come at a Higher Price Than You Realize | Electronic Frontier Foundation: If you buy a Burning Man ticket you assign copyright on any photos you take at the event to the organisers.
Creative Review - The Atlas of the Real World: Some fascinating maps of the world representing stuff about each country... oh, just look. (via Booktwo)
Britain's "broken society": Through a glass darkly | The Economist: Good article on how many things that you'd think would define "broken Britain" have been improving. Britain's better.
Coriandr / lottielodge / Handmade socks, realistic price: I love this kind of thing. I'd like to see how much your average mass-produced-in-China garment should cost if the workers were paid UK minimum wage.

Revised Font Stack | A Way Back: More thoughts on good CSS font stacks. (via Tom Taylor)
Plupload - A tool for uploading files using Flash, Silverlight, Google Gears, HTML5 or Browserplus: From the developers of TmyMCE. (via Simon Willison)
Jilion - SublimeVideo: That lovely HTML5 video player which I keep seeing and then forgetting the URL of.
AnchorFree: Free, ad-supported VPN. Software for Mac/Windows, and settings for iPhone.

Capital FM Logos, 1999-2009 | Blog - Gareth53.co.uk: I didn't realise they'd been through so many logos so quickly (although the Sunny Day logo was, I'm sure, introduced before 1999).
FreelanceSwitch Hourly Rate Calculator: Helps you work out how much you need to charge to cover your expenses and desired profit. Although that doesn't necessarily bear much relation to the market. (via Haddock)
The Wired Tablet App: A Video Demonstration | Epicenter | Wired.com: Wired magazine's demo of their tablet version. We're going to end up with a different UI for every single magazine/publisher aren't we...? Oh dear. Also: "At the bottom we have ... the scrubber." Ha ha!
MemoryMiner: Digital Storytelling for Macintosh & The Web: "It lets you zero in on the stories depicted in your photos by linking them to each other based on people, places and time." Haven't tried it, unclear why I should.

Free Audio Walks in London - Download free podcast episodes by Robert Wright on iTunes.: I haven't tried these but could be good...
Hidden - Apple Mac theft recovery for just $20: Annoyingly lower-cased, but sounds good, and cheap. (via Preoccupations)
LRB · August Kleinzahler · Diary: I really liked this piece, in which Kleinzahler sells the home he grew up in, and his parents have lived in for decades.
