  • Art review: Richard Forster | Ruth Claxton - Scotland on Sunday
  • Choosy - A smarter default browser for Mac OS X
    ‘Forget the ‘default browser’, Choosy lets you open links in the browser you want. Just set up a few simple options and Choosy will do the right thing, whether that’s opening a browser or letting you pick from some or all of the browsers on your system.’ Great little utility.
  • The Snow Queen
    The Arches Christmas play, written by Megan, directed by Al (and I think Guy is doing the sound design too).
  • Easy Lifestreaming with SimplePie
  • Atheist Campaign
    Campaign to put nice adverts for atheism on London buses, reading ‘There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.’. (They raised ten times their original fundraising target on the first day!)
  • dotmac - Google Code
    A version of .Mac you host yourself - data sync, iDisk, Backup all work apparently. Doesn’t look too fiddly to install on a machine running Linux (you have to patch Apache, install a bunch of Perl modules) but there’s no easy way of installing. If they get that sorted, this could be really popular.
  • Riddley Walker Annotations
  • Savoy Records: Heroes
    I did not know that PJ Proby recorded a rendition of The Waste Land backed with a Varèse composition. Now that I do, I must own it!
  • Lexical Analysis of 2008 US Presidential and Vice-Presidiential Debates - Who’s the Windbag?
  • albam - clothes
    Interesting brand: plain and simple, mostly made in the UK, kind of Margaret Howell-ish.
  • Black Bird Fly(BBF-ブラックバードフライ)
    A gorgeous plastic-bodied TLR that shoots medium format-style square images on 35mm film. Looks like you can only get them in Japan, sadly.

  • Architecture review: Le Corbusier, The Crypt, Metropolitan Cathedral | Art and design | The Observer
  • Mandelson: ‘I’m joined at the hip with PM’ | Politics | The Observer
    I’m still totally confused by the return of Mandelson. It seems inevitable that he’ll go down in flames for the umpteenth time, and no one can stand him, not even the Blairites. What on earth was Brown thinking?
  • reddit-chan
    Made of fail. For one thing, users are not actually anonymous, for another, the Reddit users are just regurgitating existing 4chan memes. Oh, and it doesn’t even look like a chan board.
  • Helium Foot Software: Makers of MercuryMover
    ‘With MercuryMover, you can move and resize windows on your Mac from the keyboard, positioning them precisely where you want.’ Moving and resizing windows is pretty much the only thing I used the trackpad for, so I’m giving this a try. So far, it seems very well thought out, but the interface is really very intrusive, and will end up being completely unnecessary once I’ve learnt all the command key combinations. (Also, the demo seems a bit stingy - you only get 100 uses, and it took me 30 to try out all the features.)
  • Tina Brown’s Daily Beast Starts With A Growl, Not A Roar | paidContent.org
  • The Daily Beast
    New news site from Tina Brown. Looks good, reads okay.
  • US cuts funding for condoms in Marie Stopes’ African clinics
    Is it just me, or is the US policy of encouraginh the spread of HIV/AIDS pretty much a crime against humanity?
