So it seems like tis the season to be redesigning your site. I’ll get on to it, I’ve got a good one in mind (finally). Just someone tell me, what is it with all the darker designs this time around?

I hate JJ Abrahms for stretching Lost so bloody long.
Periodic Table of the Internet
Wellington Grey has a “Periodic Table of the Internet”. Suffice to say there’s plenty of room for disagreement :) And LJ is “Jo”?! The hell man. On the other hand, Slashdot is “/.”
I needn’t even mention
There’s no point me even pointing out how crap the weather is now; even the locals are whinging.
(have a cold/sore throat type thing so not exactly in the mood to do anything, really.)
Aboriginals never stood a chance
“In conclusion, what is at play is a radical restructuring of the recognition of indigenous rights and interests in land. This is the beginnings of a revolution in Australian law and a breaking of the consensus established through the Woodward land inquiries, the Whitlam/Fraser land rights legislation, the Mabo and Wik decisions and the Native Title Act. It cannot be under-estimated.”
John Howard never gives up on anything.
Google Maps officially Best Road Trip App Ever
Saw this on Friday, but wasn’t sure if it was new – Google Maps has just added a feature I’ve always wanted – the ability to drag and drop in waypoints, diverting the route. This rocks with a capital R. See demo vid here. Can you say “Road Trip Mapping“? =D
Today’s news: Paris Hilton – will she get an iPhone?
Newsreader shreds, refuses to read Paris Hilton release lead story. Journalistic integrity FTW!
A Litany of iPhone shortcomings
I know, I know, the iPhone is all over the web this week. But here’s something to bust the bubble – interesting to consider that Apple missed these oh-so-common features when doing user-eval (I can only imagine they did – surely Jobs wasn’t the only evaluator, right?). Indeed, it seems like the iPhone was going to be the ever-hyped Video Touchscreen iPod (6G) with Phone, rather than primarily a phone.
Ed: updated for 2008/iPhone 3G.
Ed Note 2: All of the above shortcomings/complaints have been taken care of with the iPhone 3GS. See, Apple can get it right… eventually. Now it’s just a costly mofo.
You Had Me At “Um”
New blogroll item: You Had Me At “Um”. Feels just like Tequila Mockingbird. (via because of this, via because of this, via… it’s a complex story)
Ok Shark Jumped
Ok that’s the tipping point: lolpresident (though this one’s not too bad)
