- Six Grid Desktop.
Anyone who has seen my desktop will know it tends to er, fill up a bit. So let's see if this makes it easier for me to manage my home work flow. (I know it won't work in the office, because of the sheer amount of random crap I need to get swift access to in any given week…)
- Objectified: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit
I finally got around to watching Helevtica (the film about the font) while I was away at the weekend, and it was really very good. I look forward to seeing this.
- k-punk: The voice of Weird paternalism
On the difference between Oliver Postgate's heyday and now: "There are no children, there are no adults, there is no wonder: only adolescents in waiting, being spoken to by screamingly selfconscious adolescents in their twenties and thirties."
- Simple White WordPress Theme
What it says on the tin. I'd need to play with it a bit to get it to work for me, but I do like the basic structure.
- Poolga. iPhone and iPod Touch wallpapers for the rest of us.
Yes, I shall be wanting some of these for my phone, for those times when I get bored of my own photos.
- 11 Creative Coffee and Tea Mug Designs
May of these are superb, and I would be delighted to own them. Just, y'know, saying.
- undrln
Digg/Reddit type site for design/branding/media stuff.
- 2008 Greek riots – The Big Picture – Boston.com
I am torn between awe at these pictures, and horror at the events they depict. Even if you don't normally look at the photography links I post, you can't afford to miss this one.

I spend a fair amount of time hacking about with WordPress in my spare time. This'll come in handy.

- Nikon D90 Hands-on Preview.
Dammit. Must not buy… Must…not…buy…
Well, maybe after christmas. Maybe. - Full text of Barack Obama's acceptance speech
Nothing exactly shocking, but y'know, it is what it is. Be interesting to see how closely the next couple of months campaigning hews to the line he lays out here.
- Lawrence Lessig on McCain on Technology
In summary: The Bush administration has done things that may fuck the US intertubes. The McCain administration will also fuck those tubes. Not exactly revalatory or unexpected stuff, but if you're curious about the major political issues affecting the (US) internet, and have 15 minutes to spare, then this is a good primer on them anyway.
- Shifting Mind » Postalicious
del.icio.us's blog auto-poster seems to be having problems, so I'm trying this plugin as a possible fix for this. Link crossposting may be a bit wonky for a few days as I get the new system bedded in.
- Mozilla Labs » Blog Archive » Introducing Ubiquity
This looks like it could be seriously fascinating, in 18 months or so. The principles, certainly, represent a massive shift in the way we might use the web, and while Ubiquity is a little clunky, I'm sure better interfaces for doing exactly this sort of thing will get developed over the next few years.
- Fake following
Via Matt Jones, Jason Kottke on Fake Following, a brilliant new idea at FriendFeed that I fully expect every social network site to implement by the end of next year.
- dConstruct 2008
I would give my eyeteeth to make this conference. Sadly, there's no way work will pay for it, and even if they would, I am going to be buried in work at the point it's on. Dammit.
- 101 Atheist Quotes – The Atheist Blogger
Don't agree with them all, but I'd have to admit, it's only a minority I really have to take issue with, and most of those are by people who have been dead a long time. My really big problem is that it's a bit anti-Christianity-centric, and while I know it's kind of implicit that atheism defines itself in response to theism, I think you can make a stronger argument for it without resorting to just swiping at the alternatives.

- Stripped: a minimalist WordPress theme
Nice job of being ultra, ultra minimalist, while still clearly having thought given to the layout and typography. I really like this one.

- apophenia: musing about social networks and g/local cultures
I feel like I know almost no-one round where I live, but still: I shop regularly at my local butcher. A couple of my local cafe’s recognise me when I come in. I like that, and I’d hate to live in the world described here.
- 960 Grid System
Handy set of tools for producing grad based designs. I particularly like the fact that there’s both an OmniGraffle template and an HTML demo. This is going to make going from wireframe to mockup about 70 times faster.
- khîm photo » monolit
Nice, minimalist photoblog theme. Might use it as a start point for sprucing up my portfolio site, to bring it more into line with the design of my other sites.
More WordPress plugins
An LJ/Wordpress sync tool: Livepress. Something to build into the black-ink revamp?
Tag plugin – something to put in on every install, I think…

Upgrading like a fox!
You know, I’m not acutally sure what that title is suppose to mean, and I wrote it. Anyway, another aide memoire: Loads of WordPress plugins, to make this site unbearably beautiful. The flickr and del.ico.us ones look like meriting special attention.
