• Google Reviews: The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
  You can get a Google aggregation of all the reviews for any film by typing in movie: and then the name of the film. Likely to damage my all-time web fave site metacritic.com

  Much more attractively designed than the Guardian's current crop of weblogs - we'll have to wait and see if the content's interesting

  Now if these are translucent, then they might really take off - the Apple white look should be great for non-permanent personalisation

• Anil Dash on Kottke going pro
  Loved this article. Loved it. If for no other reason than because it's about those of us who care about the web and what we can do for and with it. Brother in code, I salute thee!
