  • Simon Willison: Sticking with Opera 9
    Simon’s got a more detailed writeup of his experience so far with Opera 9. Since Simon is the original digg, I tend to trust his opinion on cool web & tech stuff, so may well try it sometime soon.

  • On the design of American State flags… (plasticbag.org)
    Tom has a fairly bizarre — but interesting — writeup of some of the different flags of the USA. Reminds me of history classes in pre-emancipation South Africa: all sorts of obtuse meanings to provincial flags there too, most of which are now obsolete.

  • Then and now on Flickr – Photo Sharing!
    This is just too cute — Jon has a photo of himself and his young son at the same exhibit at a museum, just separated by a couple of decades

  • What Rights Should Same-Sex Couples Have? at The Republic of T.
    T quotes Gina in his recent post about what rights gay couples should have. The scariest part of all this is the LIST of sobering examples of when it all has gone horribly wrong.

  • WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: How To Write Low-Carbon Policies
    I’m always impressed at how often London seems to feature when people talk about sustainable building, etc

  • The beauty of the backup. – WordRidden
    Jessica has a truly scary story which will inspire even the laziest among to make/implement a backup plan RIGHT now.

  • Ethical Traveler: Travel Guidelines
    Some sensible guidelines — allegedly for being an “ethical traveller”, but it seems to be more along the lines of “how to go on holiday without being a complete arsehole”…
    (tags: travel tourism respect)
  • Top 5 business maxims that need to go
    Good observations — some of these alleged “truisms” ARE more harm than good.
    (tags: advice business management maxims productivity psychology work)
  • How NOT to lead geeks
    Another brilliant post over on positivesharing.com…
    (tags: management geek business lifehacks)
  • Republicans for Voldemort at The Republic of T.
    I absolutely LOVE this bumper sticker
