• Ten Things I Have Learned
  Graphic Designer Milton Glaser shares a few pearls of wisdom. 3 'Some people are toxic avoid them' and 7 'How you live changes your brain' have a certain resonance, taken me 30 years to start internalising those ones.

• The BLDGBLOG Book – a set on Flickr
  BLDGBLOG (http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/) gets his first look at his book. As he says on his blog "it's got 19th-century British ruin paintings, W.G. Sebald, and J.G. Ballard; it's got FAT, geology, and rogue tunneling machines; it's got urban farming, icebergs, archaeology, and Archigram….it's got runaway climate change, undersea cathedrals, artificial reefs, lost cities, oceangoing utopias". I've wanted to read this since I found his blog, so ordered.

• Google Noticeboard
  Google Noticeboard is an application that helps people access and share information over the Internet using public digital noticeboards. Using Google Noticeboard, communities can access a variety of relevant information. People can create text messages or record voice snippets and post them to one or more noticeboards.

  Noticeboard is designed to be usable by all, even people with no prior computer experience. Since messages can be voice based, even literacy is not a pre-requisite.

• Why Systems Fail and Problems Sprout Anew
  "At last those concerned with social change have a basic textbook to explain why "things generally are indeed not working very well" despite our many efforts." Fascinating especially after having seen this kind of thing from the inside of a large organisation and wondering 'Why, dear god why?'

Simply marvellous, Kutiman remixes You Tube and steps up there with DJ Shadow, no I’m not exaggerating it’s simply that good. I agree with Jonathan Coulton, “In your face Andrew Keen“.

I’m not going to comment on the legality issues surrounding this as others already have that covered. I’m just going to enjoy the moment.
