I have to say that I love this slideshow feature in Aperture. I know it’s not new, it’s been there for a couple of years at least, but I just found it. To test it I put in a bunch of pictures that I took on my travels last year. I originally put some music on it too, but I had to take it off for the version on YouTube…

- "1945-1998" by Isao Hashimoto – Cool visuals of the cold war.
- When We Tested Nuclear Bombs – Amazing and scary images. I didn't know that there had been so many tests — over a hundred in one year alone.
My delicious.com bookmarks for June 2nd through June 6th
- iPad App Pricing – Nice analysis of iPad and iPhone application pricing.
- The Value of Ideas – "Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything." Or actions speak louder than words.
- The IBM Muppet Show – "IBM. The Muppets. Two venerable institutions-but not ones we tend to associate with each other. Yet in the late 1960s, before most people had ever seen a computer in person or could identify a Muppet on sight, the two teamed up when IBM contracted with Jim Henson for a series of short films designed to help its sales staff."
My delicious.com bookmarks for April 14th through April 17th
- Three Cheers for Afghan Women – it's a little depressing to think that, as the article notes, this is actually progress.
- Audio slideshow: Sir Clement Freud – I only really know Clement Freud for his contribution to Just A Minute. I remember that I wasn't sure what to make of him when I first heard his lists and slow, deliberate delivery, but that changed pretty quickly. It won't be the same without him.
- Laptop Hunters: Homeless Frank – If you've not seen Microsoft's new adverts this probably won't make much sense. If you have, you'll realise that Frank's analysis of the PCs is more nuanced that the supposedly "real" people in the original videos.

- NASA: 50 Years of Towering Achievement – The title pretty much says it all.
- The Process – What if a large corporation tried to design a simple Stop sign? (via kottke.org)
- July 24, 1911: Hiram Bingham 'Discovers' Machu Picchu – On my list of places to visit. I read that, despite the influx of tourists, that it's still an amazing site.

- 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.
