• k-punk: The Place I Made The Purchase No Longer Exists
• MSI Wind review: Te enamorarás! Yes, it’s an Eee-killer - Boing Boing Gadgets

• Artes Mundi - Home Page
  Off to Cardiff to see the show soon.
• Shirley Clarke: A retrospective - News - Edinburgh International Film Festival
  Really looking forward to this bit of the EIFF. (Note to EIFF web designers: make your video embeddable. What is this, 2005?)

• Firefox web browser | International versions: Get Firefox in your language
  Crikey Moses, Firefox 3 RC1 is ace on the Eee PC.
• Remember everything. | Evernote Corporation
  This would seem to be a bloody remarkable application. The facility for text searching images is particularly cool (business cards/wine labels/handwritten notes snapped with a webcam all worked well for me). At last, computers can fix my fried memory!
