- Vintage & Retro Childrens Advertising – a set on Flickr
I know there are people complaining about Flickr's new look. But I know you're all wrong, and I can prove it, because this page now exists, and it didn't, before the re-design. Seriously, just go and look at it, and think about all the other brilliant and visually arresting pages that have just sprung into existence overnight.

- Barbican – Helvetica + Objectified (12A*)
June 28th, Double feature of Helvetica and Objectified at the Barbican. I've seen Helvetica, and could happily watch it again, but not Objectified. Anyone fancy a double bill of design documentaries?
- Online Backup, Data Backup & Remote Backup Solutions from Mozy.com – Welcome
Has anyone used this operation? Or anything similar? While I've got time machine, I have no offsite backups, which bugs me slightly. Particularly curious about the system performance impact of their background process, and also what kind of bandwidth useage spikes I could expect to see.
- Rossignol » Thrilling Wonder Stories
A summary of the conference I spent a chunk of Friday watching over the web. Sounds like the presentation they killed the video on was completely fascinating. I'm still processing of of the ideas I came away with, and doing my best to make sure they don't leak into anything else.

- 3-D Printing Hits Rock-bottom Prices With Homemade Ceramics Mix
I have no personal use at the moment for a 3d printer, but I'm sure the day will come when I will, and I'd really rather not have to pay through the nose for raw materials.
- Cover versions – a set on Flickr
Someone has taken classic record covers, and re-imagined them as Pelican book covers. This is absolutely beautiful stuff.
- Daring Fireball: How to Block the DiggBar
Jon Gruber has implemented an anti-DiggBar tool for his pages. I will probably do the same for mine. Read about why and how he's done it, because while this may sound a bit like a crank thing to do, rejecting potential traffic from a popular source like Digg, the important principle here is that what Digg is doing is subverting on of the basic premises of how the web works, and it should be discouraged.

Truly, the confectionery of gods and titans.
