Doris Lessingâs The Golden Notebook: Conversations around pages of a book.
the Awesome Highlighter >> Highlight text on web pages: Frames a web page and lets you highlight arbitrary sections of text and add sticky notes. You can’t seem to add notes to highlighted sections though.
Digress.it: A WordPress plugin (and more) that adds the ability to comment on paragraphs of a text (like CommentPress I guess?). The UI feels a little clunky.
The inhumane detention conditions of Bradley Manning - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com: I increasingly find myself thinking that if the USA were a country that was mainly, say, Muslim, or full of dark-skinned, non-English-speaking people, the “West” would be deploring its behaviour, talking about sanctions, etc.
Chemistry of Cast Iron Seasoning: A Science-Based How-To: For next time I need to do this to my frying pan. (via Chrisdodo)
Coffee Drinks Illustrated « Lokesh Dhakar: Different types of coffee made clear. I’d seen this before but didn’t bookmark it and had to… Google it! Never again.

03:09pm: @revdancatt Bundle them up and print them out for safe keeping? Maybe distribute many copies around the country for redundancy?

04:22pm: @GreatDismal A really clear diagram of what's in different types of coffee: http://bit.ly/dSSazw

04:22pm: @russelldavies @antimega Is it the world's biggest scotch egg?! The size of a beach ball?

10:29pm: UK's Twitter Trends currently: "Alan Sugar", "ISP", "Karen Brady", "Joanna", "Mountford" and "Viglen". Not bad, BBC.
