This week’s tabdump

Continuing the great tradition of emptying my browser bookmarks onto my weblog, this spiffy new design gets its first load of linky goodness today. Icon magazine asked 50 of the most influential designers, architects, and thinkers for their Manifesto - here they are. Flash-based magazines are the new black as Magwerk shows. For those of you more audio-based, Ira Glass is interviewed here. For video people, the wondrous Adam Curtis explains what has gone wrong with TV journalism. Overuse of the online teleprompter, perhaps. Disassociation from pain? Runners know all about it. Here’s a lovely typeface, a really interesting data visualisation for your site tool, and a great guide to podcasting gear. Meanwhile, Richard Sambrook is obviously stalking me. Moderating large IRC channels with a bot that only allows you to say things that haven’t been typed in the channel before - a very clever technique indeed.
