- Phil Coffman – Art Director + Photographer » iPhone Photography
Really nice round up of current-available iphone image editing software. I've been using my phone cam a lot more lately, on my no-a-moblog-honest-guv, and I really like some of the photos I've got out of it, mostly using Best Camera and CameraBag. On a quick play though, it's Tiltshift and Mill Color, both of whihcb are new to me that are going to help me most out of it.

- Imitator Sues Me to Overturn Copyrights: Please Help Defend My Art: John T Unger Artist's Portfolio
This is one that you might already have seen by the time this auto-posts – I have a feeling it's going to spread far and wide, because well, this poor sod is the victim of a shitehawk. Going to see if I can find the cash to spare to pledge myself – I really like the imp series her's producing.

- “All the time in the world” talk at Design By Fire 2009, Utrecht – Blog – BERG
General purpose clever bastard Jones is at it again. Chronos and Kairos, and the idea of time as a medium that we can learn to manipulate, play with and build new things from.

- The £10,000 playlist
Nice summary of why I still prefer buying music, and using iTunes to using Spotify. (Although saying that, I have spent quite a chunk of this week using Spotify, to listen to something specific that I don't happen to own yet.)

- BBC NEWS | England | London | Bus journeys 'cut by 16m miles'
You shitehawk motherfucker, Johnson. You lying little shitweasel. The obfuscations your spokefuckwits come out with aren't even tying to be convincing any more. Why are you comparing the year 2000, when the buses were quite badly fucked, with this year? Could it be because if we compare last year's figures, when the buses work pretty bloody well, it will become apparent that your argument is arrant toss? Why, yes, I think it is. And the fact that you think we won't notice is a mark of your filthy dimwitted arrogance. (In case anyone's wondering why I seem so exercised by this, it's partly because I am reminded of the fact that this man who I genuinely believe to be evil is running my city, and that always winds me up, and partly that as someone who has commuted by bus for most of the last ten years, I am in a position to know how much better the buses are now than they were, and I dread them going back to the way they were.)

- Sex trafficking is no illusion | Rahila Gupta | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
I was slighly horrified to read Nick Davies (a journalist I normally have a lot of respect for, and consider his book Dark Heart to be mandatory reading) article in the Graudiad yesterday, which contained the elemetary error that just because a six month operation had failed to successfully prosecute anyone for sex trafficking in the UK, the problem wasn't that bad. Here is an excellent rebuttal to that piece, also from the Grauniad (which itself contains a link to Mr Davies original piece at the top, which is why I haven't linked it here.)

Wish I'd been at this talk. Still, filed for later reference.

- Be lucky – it's an easy skill to learn – Telegraph
I shall work on this. I'm pretty relaxed, but I'm not as observant as I could perhaps be. Still, it's nice to know that "Be Lucky!" can be taken as an instruction, rather than just generic good wishes…
RPG filter?
So, I spend quite a lot of my spare time running, playing, or thinking about running or playing RPGs, and I do have a fair amount to say on the subject, and have been thinking about trying to set some of it down for a while now, and prompted by mindwanders, I thought I might see about getting on with it in the near future.
I am aware, however, that quite a number of my friends don’t have much interest in that kind of thing, so I thought I’d set up a filter for it, so as not to accidentally bore anyone rigid.
So: who wants in?
