Papercraft Self Portrait - Art Portfolio for Eric Testroete
This looks wonderful.

The history of the image element in HTML. A great bit of documenting internet history. (via Waxy)

Cartographer.js – thematic mapping for Google Maps
Javascript library for mapping data nicely onto Google Maps. Area-scaled circles, choropleth, etc. (via Simon Willison)
K-punk: London litened
A nice description from 2008 of a London where everyone is reading those bloody free newspapers. (via City of Sound)
Facebook Developers | Platform Live Status
Current status of the Facebook platform.
Illicit filesharing - p2p - government evidence to the culture committee | Tom Watson MP
Good questioning from Tom Watson. I'm continually gob-smacked by the craven corporate backwardness of the government. I wish there was a Labour party.

Video Monkey
"A free video encoding application exclusively for Mac ... it borrows heavily from the Visual Hub video conversion tool." (via Yoz)
Mu — Mu Connect
A JavaScript library for making interaction with Facebook Connect easier. Which I somehow didn't find when it would have been useful to me.
Diagnose and Prevent AJAX Performance Issues - dynaTrace AJAX Edition
Tool for "diagnosing and preventing AJAX performance issues". Annoyingly on Windows, for Internet Explorer, but free and could be useful. (via Yoz)
Playdar - Music Content Resolver
The idea is to play any song that's available on your computer or anywhere online. Requires compiling. Oh well.

Reocities , rising from the ashes - RIP Geocities...
Wonderful - one guy raced to copy all of GeoCities. Worth reading 'Making of'. He should win medals, awards, certificates, etc. (via Kottke)
What Startups Are Really Like
I love descriptions of start-ups and businesses like this. (via Daring Fireball)
Memories of Friends Departed Endure on Facebook | Facebook
After hearing, a while back, about Yahoo denying access to relatives and then closing accounts of the deceased, this sounds very good. (via Preoccupations)
Statistical analysis, data and graphing | Timetric: making data useful
Datagasm. Loads of data sets available for analysing, exporting, monitoring, fiddling with, etc. (via Blackbeltjones)

Click opera - Hanging gardens of Barbican
Momus on growing to love the Barbican. (via Blackbeltjones)
LRB · Bridget Riley: At the End of My Pencil
Bridget Riley on why she draws and how her paintings developed. Good, although it all sounds more straighforward than I imagine it was.
Linkiblog | How to Build a Popularity Algorithm You can be Proud of
What it says. (via Yoz)
Theatricalia
Matthew Somerville's new theatre database site. It already features nearly 19,000 productions, and you can add more.
