• 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…
• short​ter​mmem​o​ry​loss.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
• 60% of Edi­tors Blog com­ments hate the BBC News redesign - cur­ry­bet­dot­net - 2 April, 2008
  Analy­sis of the response to the new design. (I like it, except the fixed width.)
• Double-​whammy gene keeps smok­ers hooked - health - 02 April 2008 - New Sci­en­tist
  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.
