- Lychee — Self-hosted photo-management
Might want to have a play with this, see if I can get it to join up with other tools, so I've actually got my own database of my photos.
- London to the letter: meet Edward Johnston, the font of all tube style
Good article, more importantly: that's an exhibition I really want to see.
- A 3-Hour Long Mixtape of Goth History
Exactly what it says on the tin, but an interesting, deep-cuts type offering.

The Thames, around 1870 to 1920. Lovely.

- From Me To You
Some really clever effects here, almost a redefinition of what a photo can be for the 21st century. Go look.
- One generation, new species – all-female lizard bred in a lab
Men to be declared obsolete within the next 100 years. Probably for the best.
- Even Robots Can Be Heroes – ScienceNOW
Robots running an evolving algorithm have been shown to spontaneously develop altruism as a beneficial strategy. One in the eye for objectivists or selfish bastards – it turns out thta evolution can, in fact, produce altruism, and that it works better than selfishness.

Reasonable community model for an idea I've had.
- Michael Buble Being Stalked By A Velociraptor
I'm not entirely sure who this Michael Buble character is – I think he's some kind of pop star of the sort I probably won't enjoy very much – but he has sailed so completely under my radar that I suspect I am even more out of touch then previously thought. However, here he is being staked a velociraptor. Velociraptors make everything better.

My god, this is just superb. Work of total genius. Combination of the ubiquity of the digital age with the sense of magic and wonder. Utterly brilliant. I want to give these to everyone.
- Pub 'fined £8k' for Wi-Fi copyright infringement – ZDNet.co.uk
Oh, look, you all know what I'm going to say by now. I'll just restate this: free/cheap public connectivity is far more important to Britain's future prosperity than the existing business models of the content industry are, and cases like this endanger that connectivity. I would like it very much if we stopped fighting the future because of a short term threat to the wallets of some rich people, and got on with embracing it so that we can have all new rich people.
- Daring Fireball: A Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs
Then number of times I've written, re-written, googled for, and generally had to implement one of these is verging on the insane. This one looks good, so I am noting it so I can come back and find it whenever this comes up again.

- BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | British blamed for Basra badgers
"We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area." I am saddened to hear that. All wars should be fought by man-eating badgers.
- ‘camoflague’ by liu bolin
Awesome artist who, well, he camoflages himself, which doesn't sound that exciting, but serious, go look. It's ace.

Really quite a good quickstart – cleared up a few things for me, at any rate.
- Alasdair on the Plinth – a set on Flickr
Phil's photos from the other night – them as dressed up and made an effort will probably find better shots of themselves in there than anything I've managed to get, but at least *someone* managed to get some good photos. There's even one or two of me here that I like. Cheers, Phil.

- Abandoned London – a set on Flickr
I am so tempted to skip out on family Christmas next year, and produce a set something like this. OK, there's not a chance I would, but still, the set pretty damn impressive anyway.
- English Russia » Abandoned Russian Polar Nuclear Lighthouses (via Warren Ellis)
Like everyone else, I'd never heard of these before. And like all right-thinking people, I do think the entire notion is fascinating. Mouldering hulks of poisonous stone that no longer light up the night. Perfect fodder for a maritime ghost story.
- Photojojo » Sensor Dust Is Evil. Here’s How to Banish It.
Good round up of various cleaning options to remove sensor dust. My old D70s body is a martyr to it, and the D80 is bound to pick up some at some point.
- British Weather Terms
Some interesting old terms in here I hadn;'t run across before that might be useful in the future.

My writing site has finally been given the wash and a brush up it’s needed for years, and for the first time in ages I’m happy with it. It’s only a modified off the shelf job, but I like how it looks.
