• Getting things done (simply) in Leopard | Dennis Best
• "Gouge and Bite, Pull Hair and Scratch:" The Social Significance of Fighting in the Southern Backcountry
• URL as UI
• LW ORIGIN
  Interview about loopwheel machines, which make lovely comfy sweatshirts.
• mythologicalobjects - Mythological Objects by Christolina Minaret
  I’m starting to think I’m not clever enough to play this game…
• shorttermmemoryloss.com
  Nice homepage design.
• Nationwide iPhone shortage reported; 3G model soon? | One More Thing - CNET News.com
  Hope so - I’m teetering on the brink of getting an iPhone, 3G would tip me right over.
• Twitter / rabbitchaser: Hoping Slice has her phone …
  Hmmn.
• Avant Game: The Lost Ring - the alternate reality game for the 2008 Olympics

  Analysis of the response to the new design. (I like it, except the fixed width.)

  It seems safe to say that I have this mutation.
• SUCK UK - Mix Tape USB Drive
  Lovely idea, but at £20 it’s a bit steep compared to, you know, a cassette. But then I’m probably one of very few folk who still has a cassette players around the house (lots of good music is released cassette-only, mostly by noise types.)
• The Virginia Quarterly Review » A National Journal of Literature and Discussion
  Excellent magazine, going by the pieces I’ve just read on HIV/AIDS in Jamaica, evangelist Pat Robertson and Ezra Pound’s unlikely stint as a foreign correspondent.
• Mimosa pudica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  Ace plant.
