This is a brain dump of some of the things I ran into on the Internets this week. When writing these weekly posts, I can’t help but think of a certain scene from Bo’ Selecta from days gone by. Just thought I’d share that, it’s quite an obscure reference, let me know if you get it. Anyway, the week in links from er.. the Internet.
- Hopefully, I shall be attending BizCamp Newry next week, still time to sign up, nice to see these sorts of things happening in Northern Ireland.
- The training for the marathon continues apace, which the image in this post also alludes to, check out my Runkeeper profile. (Runkeeper review en route..)
- I know you’re dying to know what were the top Twitter Trends of 2009? All is revealed…
- Nicely demonstrated – how to use a semi-colon;
- If you ever needed an example of the power of CSS, check out this pure CSS coke can. Awesome.
- Need to weed out spammers from your site? Look no further than reCaptcha, a recent acquisition from Google.
- I had a play with HTML5 and built a backwards compatible one page site.
- My Smashing Magazine book arrived and looks very pretty indeed. Review coming soon..
- I found this handbags page from Jon Hicks that I’m just dying to use but have yet to get an appropriate opportunity. Clever use of the URL was also noted.
- Oh, in case you’ve been living in a cave outside Bundoran, The Apple iPad was announced. Much hilarity ensued in my head when I discovered this parody from over nearly three years ago, little did they know.
- If you’re from Northern Ireland, and if you haven’t already, you should check out Lookaly, a Belfast based start up which is fast becoming the definitive guide on where to eat/drink/club and whatever else tickles your fancy in Northern Ireland, certainly Belfast. Today, I have lunch in Rhubarb and promptly left a quick review.
- Some interesting stats on the most popular ways to interact with Twitter. Tweetdeck FTW!
- And finally, for a blow by blow account of what Blair said at the Iraq Inquiry, look no further than the excellent Guardian website.
