Jorn Barger, the NewsPage Network, and the Emergence of the Weblog Community | Tawawa.org
Fascinating history of the early days of weblogs, with a prominent place for Dave Winer’s NewsPage stuff, which I remember being important to me (the Haddock Directory started on Userland Frontier in…

Notes.husk.org. The City Of London Highwalks.
Paul Mison’s starting some writing about the raised pedestrian walkways in the City of London. Good stuff.
John Harris asks whether the best writing about pop music hails from a different era | Music | The Guardian
While I’m at it, I enjoyed this too, about whether music writing isn’t as good as it used to be. It never was. Or maybe it’s always moving so it’s not where you left it.
Potlatch: what's going on with the music formerly known as 'indie'?
A nice piece about how mixed up music is today and what counts as “timeless”. I need to read more good music writing. Maybe I can NewspaperClub my own NME/MM. (via Matt Jones)

A good source of answers to the question “what model of TV should I get?” (and similar, I imagine).
Notes.husk.org. The show, which is currently in production with an....
BBC4 “comedy drama” about the rivalry between Sir Clive Sinclair and Acorn Computers head Chris Curry. Why a sodding *comedy* drama? Let’s laugh at the funny 1980s and their silly computers! Well,…
Newspaper Club - A work in progress
Just down the corridor Russell, Ben and Tom are doing some marvellous things, and sharing their progress. This will be awesome.
The Viridian Design Movement
Bruce Sterling closed Reboot last week and, even though I’d heard and read some of it before it was a wonderful, weary, preaching, telling off. It made me read this again.
Scope (Schulze & Webb)
More Matt Webb, his opening presentation at last week’s Reboot. It was very, very good, and it’s great to have the whole thing written much as he delivered it.
