I should be working but I couldn’t help enjoy 10 Best LEGO Designs now which was one of those “possibly related” links (automatically generated) at the bottom of a post on Cecilia Weckstrom’s blog – some of which is work related… but also shares great stuff like this:
For work, I create online surveys and analyse data. Lots of data and after a while the results charts get a little … boring. Smashing magazine’s latest post Data Visualization and Infographics Resources has lots of great examples of alternatives to the humble bar chart or pie chart.
Would love to create executive summaries like this one above. I imagine it takes a lot of time (and some talent). My favourite screenshot from the Smashing magazine post is this:

If you are looking to buy or sell second-hand books (in the UK) then I highly recommend greenmetropolis.com. The service is aimed more at passing your books on and covering the cost of postage than recouping (some of) the original cost (most paperbacks are sold for £3.75).
And if you’re looking for the Pulp Fiction screenplay, I was Amelia Earhart or Tales of a tail gunner (auto-biography of a rear gunner in a B-24 bomber) amongst others, then please help me out! I’m trying to make some space…
If only there was a market for old computer manuals, programming books and videos. (I know I’m not alone, but donating old videos to the school fair just seems cruel.)
Have you ever asked the question “if time travel is possible, where are the time travellers?” ? Some bright spark used twitter to prove time travel is possible. Superb!
