Link Dump

Link Dump // The Dark Side of the Moon (The Flaming Lips album) – This almost slipped under my radar. It's very good indeed, both faithful to and playful with the original. Go get a copy. // Facebook Fixer for Greasemonkey – Clears all the crap off and makes it slightly more usable. If you use it. I hardly ever do though I keep meaning to. // A listening guide to Uptime / Downtime – Provided by Wikipedians identifying the samples. // The Kleptones "Uptime/Downtime" Album – From the monkey who brought us Yoshimi vs The Hip Hop Robots and A Night At The Hip Hopera. Another masterpiece of bastard pop free to download. Do it now. // Passive aggressive notes left on WIFi router names – "please no more grindcore at 3am" // Wikileaks are fundraising – This is the site which people can send leaked documents to without fear of lawyers serving them writs. They provide an invaluable service. Go throw them a fiver or something. // LIVE! Pictures from the Labour plot! – Sod the "first YouTube / Facebook / Twitter election" nonsense. This could be the first Lolcats election. Much more relevant to the future of democracy. // Doing journalism in 2010 is an act of community organizing – "Despite what years of local monopoly may have taught many veteran journalists, readers don't automatically show up for whatever you publish." // Growing up Heroes – Photos of American (on the whole) kids dressed up as superheroes. Better than it sounds and it sounds great. // The ‘Israelification’ of airports – Fascinating article on how Tel Aviv's main airport deals with a constant and real terror threat. There are no queues and you're through in minutes. Comparisons are drawn with the "letting the terrorists win" policies of US airports. // How to say stupid things about social media – Cory Doctorow states the bleeding obvious, but sometimes it needs to be stated. // Newspaper Club Prices – You can now order your own newspaper from Newspaper club. 100 copies for £120. Intriguing. // Helga’s New York Adventure – My friend and occasional colleague Helga Henry has finally found her blogging voice. Loving this. // Chip Music – A forum for creators and fans of 8bit and related music. Haven't dived in yet. // Hobbitted – A blog by someone reading Tolkien for the first time. I love the tone of bemusement. // Dear Rock Stars – Steve Lawson, a musician, replies to those in the "music industry" who say people like him are suffering. He's not suffering. // Photos2You – I have it on good authority this is the cheapest place to get black and white films developed. // Victorian Infographics – Very awesome indeed. // Blindhæðir – Laura Kicey crowdsourced the funds for a photo tour of Iceland. In return funders got prints and she wrote up the journey in this fantastic piece of travel blogging. // Compliment Sandwich – The Juneau Projects boys have a blog. // Nobody Has A Million Twitter Followers – Anil Dash is on Twitter's Suggested User List. His findings are interesting. // Twitpanto 2009 — The Sequel – Jon Bounds accounts for his experimental theatre production, a pantomime on Twitter. // Decode: Digital Design Sensations – I have it on good authority that this exhibition at the V&A is worth going to // via delicious/peteashton/toblog
