Burn - Home: Really nice and easy Mac app for burning files to different kinds of disc. Also, free. (via Infovore)
Buster Benson: A nice data-rich “summary of now” homepage. (via @tomcoates)
750 Words: Nice idea, from the afore-linked Buster Benson. Write 750 words a day, privately, online, to get your creative juices flowing.

09:23am: @chrislunch What's wrong with The Field Mice?! I'm going to have to look for the Drums now.
09:27am: Pleased to see on Dr Who that Rory colours in the North Face logo on his clothes. I do the same, but his is better than my Sharpie attempt.
09:30am: Favourite new (to me) word from the world of outdoors equipment: Ramblesack. Bigger than a daysack, smaller than a rucksack. "Ramblesack"
10:31am: Throwing away a large pile of paper about the future that I barely remember reading or writing ten years ago.
10:34am: @timd If someone on the walk says "The air smells so fresh out here!" then it's a ramble.
12:18pm: Just noticed that for four days in 1987 I wrote my diary in runes from Lord of the Rings. #helloiamageek
01:12pm: @chrislunch Field Mice can be slightly angry! "That you have a life, A life besides me, Bothers the hell, The hell out of me" Ooh! Fury! er.
03:12pm: GSD. It's like Getting Things Done only even more satisfying.
08:14pm: Wasn't going to get Red Dead Redemption immediately, but my friends have. I feel like the kid in the playground wearing the wrong trainers.

Week 361: Catching up on weeknotes after a holiday and procrastination.
What have we today?: Some clippings from the New Statesman’s ‘This England’ column from the early 1990s.
