   Starting to re-write my own site in Django, in order to learn how to use it, and very much enjoying it.

1. My First Week with the iPhoneBehind the Curtain | Behind the Curtain

   I’ve seen this ecstatic report by a blind person about their new iPhone linked to from a few places. Forget your iPhone-fatigue and skip to the last few paragraphs where he describes using an app (Color ID) which speaks the colours the device’s camera “sees”. Beautiful.

2. Free Andrew Loomis Art Intstruction Downloads « Escape From Illustration Island

   Some lovely old copyright-free books on figure drawing as PDFs. (via Ministry of Type)

3. Musopen raises $40,000 to set classical music “free”

   Love this - raising money via Kickstarter to hire orchestras to record copyright-free versions of classical music. (via Waxy)

4. A Place to Remember Loved Ones | 1000Memories

   Interesting - create a site about someone who’s died. But… feels a bit clunky and like “make a database about someone you love”.

5. Snoopy | View-source bookmarklet for iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices

   Very handy. Also rather nice on desktop browsers too. (via Tim Brayshaw)
