I’ve been distracted by my OPML blog the last week or so; The OPML editor is so nice and off-the-cuff to use that this feels almost ponderous. (The software and hosting are only for evaluation at present, courtesy of Dave Winer – thank you!) so the blog is likely only temporary). Here are some links that I posted there, so I get caught up here!
Pandora: very cool! (thanks Lynda!)
Diana Adams: Painter of bold contemporary New Zealand landscapes
Information aesthetics:
Intreguing blog run by Andrew Vande Moere from the Centre of Design
Computing and Cognition at Sydney University, and nominated in the Bloggies. I haven’t had time to explore yet, except to have a play with the unseen weather video. I put a few stills from my version in the pool at Flickr. They look dry and late summery compared to the European ones, don’t they?
The design that got best designed is unusual, lush and colourful. I like it.
Squid: Laughing Squid’s blog for all things squid. Love the Welcome squid overloards t-shirt. But probably not as much as this silly blog t-shirt.
Brides of March. I really liked San Francisco the few days I’ve spent there. Whenever I read Laughing Squid I think what fun SF could be to live in and be part of.
More Jane Austen TV adaptations : that Andrew Davies is writing the screenplay for Sense and Sensibility assuages some of my feelings that the JA popularity wave is getting out of hand.
Speaking of Austen, this made me laugh.
Last.fm: an open source music/social networking site (via Doc Searls)
Articulate, the ABC’s arts blog, is blogging the Adelaide Festival of Arts.
Newsvine: an innovative and possibly fundamental change in news sites. Here is an enthusiastic rundown on it. I wonder if it will get bogged down by the derisive comments and divisions that often happen in political discussions?
