After an enjoyable and unusually sociable weekend I spent the parts of this week I wasn't battling Movable Type for an impending deadline battling a gang of ruthless flu-like symptoms. That'll teach me to leave the flat and step out into your germ-infested world.

- 3000 miles from home | aram kudurshian's web site | high priority
- Mac OS X toolbar to-do list manager. For me to remember if I start using iCal's to do list. (via plasticbag.org)
- Soundstream
- If I used a screensaver... Reacts to sounds it hears through your Mac's microphone. Only appeared on my PowerBook's screen, not the external monitor, but still nice.
- Peter Maurer - Witch
- Application switcher for Mac that lets you switch between windows, not just applications. Very handy for those of us trying to avoid the mouse. Oodles of options.

- BBC - Radio 1 - Zane Lowe - Tracklisting - Thursday 16 February 2006
- Fantastic 90 minutes of break-up songs. Be a maudlin teenager all over again. 30 mins into the show, if you can find the Listen Again link. And if you can put up with the appalling Zane Lowe.
- BBC - Radio 3 - Mixing It - P J Harvey
- I always forget to listen to Mixing It, but last night I stumbled on this long PJ Harvey session. Yum. Listen Again from /radio3/mixingit/ for the next week.

- Thecompact : The Compact
- The Yahoo! Group for the Bay Area people who aren't buying new stuff in 2006.
- Compact
- The Compact's weblog -- see them wrestle with exactly what they're allowed to buy new and giggle at the optimism: "if our movement grows we could take this country down".
- Bay Area / Out of the retail rat race / Consumer group doesn't buy notion that new is better
- The Compact - 50 people who have committed to buy nothing new ("except food, health and safety items and underwear") in 2006. (via Boing Boing)
- BBC - Radio 4 - Today Programme - Interview with Stephen Pound MP (Real Audio .ram file)
- I woke up this morning to hear an MP talking frankly about almost changing his mind over the smoking ban. Glorious, because he sounds like a human being. If only the cabinet sounded like this. (skip forward to 3:15)
- Flickr: ludd's photos tagged with barbican
- Old models of the Barbican, a map and a photo of what the Barbican replaced.
- Yahoo open up their UI libraries... (plasticbag.org)
- Links to all Yahoo's shiny developer things in one handy place for me to never get round to reading.

- Mask class Permalink
Nearly half-way through the spring term already, and I've written nothing about acting classes so far. I've been trying to finish a programming project, but personal project deadlines have something of Zeno about them, so I should admit temporary defeat and get this written now before more weeks slip by.

- The Art of DeTouch
- Widget showing how advertising / publicity photos have been retouched. (via Kottke)
- Early Retirement
- By Philip Greenspun. One can dream. Two general tips: don't read news/email in the morning or your brain will fill and you'll get no work done; and spend more time with other people to increase happiness -- computer programming is bad. (via Kottke)
- Flickr: HDR
- Some lovely photos using the High Dynamic Range merging image feature thing in Photoshop CS2.
- Ogle Earth: Center of Gravity II

- Geograph British Isles - photograph every grid square!
- IS this new or have I just not seen it before? "Aims to collect a geographically representative photograph for every square kilometre of the British Isles." Lovely. Nice Google Earth integration too. (via Tim/twisty)
