Today’s Links (25/04/08)

• Textism: Podswollop
  Most of the podcasts I listen to are actually radio programmes too. Or made by professional broadcasters. (Podcasting is a new mode of distribution, but it’s not a new medium.)
• New: Video Comments On All TechCrunch Blogs
  This is the stupidest idea I’ve seen in a long time.
• Print writing versus web writing « gilest
  I’d add "You probably get paid | You probably don’t’ ;-)
• Documentary Section Announced - News - Edinburgh International Film Festival
  For whatever reason, it’s always the docs I see at the EIFF that stick in my mind. (And I’ll see way more this year - fuck August!)
• radio for back up on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
  A Flickr user reports on being harrassed for (perfectly legally) taking a photo of a shop.
• Made in Japan? | TABlog | Tokyo Art Beat
  "This discussion paper proposes that the medium of digital photography inherently displays qualities of Japanese aesthetics." Hmmn. No.
• Twitter / DowningStreet
  The Prime Minister’s Office has a Twitter account - they get it, too: lots of replies to queries by other users.
• LG Optical Drives - Model GSA-E50L
  Works well with the Eee. Shame it’s so ugly.
• Welcome to Usb.brando.com.hk
  Portable USB DVD drive - pitched at the Eee/Air, but also says it’s Windows only (eh?!), unclear whether it’s bus powered or not.
• Birkhill Castle
  Spent the day hanging out here, after a screening of Antonioni’s L’Eclisse. DCA know how to launch a show!
• patrickrhone.com: (Re)Introducing Machine Methods
  Clever idea: Patrick’s business website is designed so that it can also serve as a printable brochure or folded mailout.
• carrierdetect.com » Back Standard Time
  We’ll all be setting our watches to BAST before long. Probably. Photos here.
• Anil Dash: Embedded Journalism
  "I’ve created a javascript embed tag at the bottom of every post on my blog, to let you embed the title, an excerpt of the post, and a list of commenters on the post in your own blog or site." Interesting idea.
• Josh Millard . com » HURF DURF METAFILTER ANALYZER
  Disturbingly exhaustive examination of the phrase HURF DURF BUTTER EATER as used on MetaFilter, by cortex. (The fact that total asshat un owen introduced it to the site kind of takes the shine off.)
• Mobile Computer - Asus Eee PC 900
  The more reviews of the 900 I read, the more I think of flogging my 701 on eBay and upgrading…
• The Fridge Gallery
• YouTube - Isosceles: Kitch Bitch
  Gerard directed this video for Isosceles (which is great fun, though I’m not terribly keen on the song.)
