- How Many Licks is my favourite looking Threadless t-shirt for a hell of a long time… Mmm. Realm of the mole-men.
- My little brother spotted “The greatest book in the world” I’m going to dig around for it. I need a book on Llamas, Weaving and Organic Chocolate.
- Roy Gould did an incredibly inspiring if totally short talk at TED about Microsoft Research’s WorldWide Telescope Lovely video clip. Really fascinating. It’s like Google/Yahoo Maps, but for space. Stunning.
- The Huffington Post has a browseable data set for campaign donations… Particularly sexy as it allows you to search for different companies and see which way the people who work there tend to work. You can also search for individuals. This is the database journalism that Adrian talks about in action.
- The Onion has the US election result! Wonderful piece of satire that’s in fact so wonderful it’s barely funny at all. I should introduce this to the Open Rights Group people.
- Susan Kare, the woman who developed the original icons for the Mac, is currently producing tiny pixel gifts for Facebook… Honestly, I find this story sort of depressing. It seems like a waste.
