Links

1. MagCloud

   Self-publishing, publish-on-demand magazines. Send a PDF, and they handle printing, delivery, subscriptions, etc. Seems such an obvious idea now Derek Powazek and co have done this. (via Daring Fireball)

2. Slides: Professional Frontend Engineering | Nate Koechley’s Blog

   A presentation that nicely describes a role that is close to some of what I do. Interesting to see new (in a larger scale) roles become identified and solidified. (via Infovore)

3. Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds

   Lets you create tag clouds that are much more lovely than the usual. (via Blackbelt Jones)

4. Phpmyfamily::home

   Allows people to collaborate on researching their family’s genealogy. Nice idea, but looks pretty ugly and confusing.

5. Bottle Tracker - Baby Tracker Software by Trixie Tracker

   Anything this obsessive makes me feel much more relaxed about my levels of personal quantification. (via Kevin Kelly)

6. 285 - London’s Lost Rivers « Strange Maps

   Idea for public art project: Brass markings on roads, pavements, buildings, etc. that mark the path of the rivers that are now hidden. (via Ted Mills)

7. Amazon.com: “Revolutions and State Collapse”

   I love this Listmania list, especially the first part of it with comments. Saw it ages ago but didn’t save it at the time.
