- Rejoice this day! – My sentiments exactly!
- Lost labels for your DHARMA Initiative needs – This is great. I think I'm going to have to re-label everything in the cupboard at home!
- It must have been a slow news day at ZDNet – These arguments against iPhone development come up all the time on places like StackOverflow. This is a great explanation of why they mostly make no sense.

- A Sense of Entitlement: Tweetie 2 – I think Apple needs to do more here — to allow for paid upgrades — but I also congratulate the author of Tweetie for having the nerve to charge for a significant update. He'll come across a lot of resistance but it's absolutely the right thing to do and it, potentially, paves the way for smaller developers to do the same thing.
- Peep Show ‘won’t change’ for anyone – Looking forward to this. Slightly worried that it might overstay its welcome — how can you top eating a family pet in terms of gross out? — but then I thought that for the last couple of series too…
- Fail Yet Succeed? – Nice discussion of the kind of things that all software projects go through. Really this is about half of my job!
Tiny Time Lords

- Battle between ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro to be BBC4 comedy drama – This looks like it could be fun. I especially like some of the comments after the article. The Spectrum vs. Commode 64 [sic] debate still rages to this day…
- Materials: The HTC Hero's Teflon Coating Makes the iPhone Feel Like Junk – iPhone 3G – One thing that's holding me back from getting a 3GS is the plastic back. I much prefer the aluminium from the first gen model.
- The blue and the green – "Your eyes are not cameras faithfully taking pictures of absolute truth of all that surrounds you. They have filters, and your brain has to interpret the jangled mess it gets fed." A very neat optical illusion.

- China 'Strikes Hard' in Tibet – Not good.
- Creativity and stretching the sweatshirt – "For me, creativity is the stuff you do at the edges. But the edges are different for everyone, and the edges change over time."
- Red Dwarf voyages back to Earth – I've been watching the reruns and, well, the episodes I've seen so far just haven't been as good as I remembered them to be. I'll probably still watch the new ones of course…
- Banks now refusing to lend pens – Only funny because it's true. Ish.

- WordPress for iPhone – It turns out that my recent review of WordPress for iPhone was the four-hundredth post on ZX81.org.uk. Time for a small celebration!
- Font Conference – Typeface adventures…
- Simon Pegg's Geek Roots Show in Spaced – I'm no longer a twenty-something, but I still love Spaced. Now available in the US.
