- Enormously SPOILER-full thread about upcoming Doctor Who episode "Bad Wolf" seems to rather stomp all over my little theories Definitely don't read this unless you're okay with the idea that big chunks of the mystery might be dispelled for you (or not if it's all bunk, of course)
- John Gruber on some details of Tiger that you might have missed Really nice stuff here on interface improvements, tweaks, tips, shortcuts and apps. Highly recommended read...
- A Gamers' Manifesto Good fun read for people who have played a few console games over the years. Not a lot of vision, but some good solid opinions...
- Oh wow! I've just missed my ten year anniversary of my first (nervous) post to Usenet... And it would have to be a bloody Babylon 5 group, wouldn't it. This is not the life-history of a Nobel prize winner...
- A proposal for a really divisive website... (a post from plasticbag.org in December 2001) An old post I found on my site today which is kind of entertaining considering the whole kerfuffle over Blogebrity...
- Open Tech 2005 - 23rd July in Hammersmith, London - from the makers of NotCon BBC Backstage is sponsoring the Open Tech low-cost micro-conference in London. NotCon was ace, I expect this to be as good...
- Joel's Programmer's Bookshelf "This is the short list of all the books that I honestly think that every working programmer needs to read, with my own book hidden in there in case you didn't notice..."
- The Desperate Housewives dumb "Which Housewife are you?" Quiz pegged me (and Matt Biddulph and Gareth Klose) as Susan... I really didn't think I'd get into Desperate Housewives, but the last episode just blew me away!
- The classic Threadless "this was supposed to be the future" T-shirt has been reprinting and is available for sale again If I had a little more cash and T-shirts with words on them suited me a little more, I'd so be buying this...
- Another threadless t-shirt: Darth enjoyed gardening Awesome, stunning t-shirt that unfortunately happens to also be green, which is not a colour that suits a lot of people...

Thank you Tom for the link to A Gamers' Manifesto. As an avid NON-gamer, I'm going to write an article of analysis of the manifesto, from a usability perspective and expertise...at:
