“Groovy Motherfucker”

Genius. Using Google Maps’s interface to display and navigate the apartment listings from Craigslist.

New anti-spam plugin for MovableType. This will be installed here later.

Interesting mobile-phone “game” from the LibDems, which polls the “electorate” in a compelling fashion. Works on any Java-compatible cellphone, inside or outside the UK.

Tag-based code-snippet archive. “Like del.icio.us, but with code”, says Yoz, and he’s not wrong.

“God made the Infield a 90-foot square and the Outfield not less than 400 feet to center and 320 feet down the lines. He declared this Fair Territory. All other territory, God then declared, was Foul.”

“YOU EIGHT THE SANDBOX?!”

I may be disgruntled with their policies over the last few years, but damn! The Labour Party know how to write a begging email! “This may not be the first email you have ever received asking for money, but at least this one isn’t promising that you’ve already won the Nigerian Lottery. At least, I think not: I haven’t checked the pledge card.”

Handy reminder service from the Globe, now that street-cleaning (and the associated parking tickets) are in effect once more.

Upcoming.org adds functionality to make them a less-evil alternative to Evite. Cool.

Christ, this takes me back. Alloa Library had the necessary BBC Micro, laserdisc player and trackball, and I used to spend hours playing around with it.

Auntie’s got an election blog too.

Looks the the “Observer Blog” was just a warm-up for this — A UK equivalent to Salon’s War Room. Subscribed!

Large quantities of the unthinking non-critical media, effortlessly hoaxed.

Google integrate satellite photos into Google Maps in a gorgeous fashion, and in doing so, continue to piss on Mapquest’s chips.

Paul Graham (and ESR, and Winer) in bullshit-rant shocker. Despite people pointing to them, I’ve never been able to read a Paul Graham essay. Favourite quote: “Great paintings, for example, get you laid in a way that great computer programs never do.”

Get a 5-day forecast without two tons of flickering, flashing ads.

In my department, this works on *so* many levels.

BBC lawyers are almost certainly swooping on this as we speak, but it’s a sweet little bit of nostalgia to see some live Ceefax pages.
