MyDreamApp finals! I voted for Whistler as I planned all along, but also for Por­tal, sur­pris­ing myself, because I pre­vi­ously thought it was redun­dant for a .Mac user like myself. I still think Hijack is just lame, and Cook­book is really slick but not some­thing I’d have the time or incli­na­tion to use myself. I’ve lost inter­est in Blos­som, so that leaves Atmos­phere, which also doesn’t really thrill me.

Thrill to the cool ambi­ent stylings of Fripp & Eno in their new long-player The Cotswold Gnomes.

An honest-to-goodness LEGO flamethrower.

The Inde­pen­dent pro­files Doc­tor Who and Torch­wood shep­herd Rus­sell T. Davies. Poten­tially dis­ap­point­ing to those expect­ing Torch­wood’s adver­tised adult nature:

“I don’t mean sex or swear­ing; I just mean life, the beat and the tick of it, Gwen in her flat with her boyfriend. It wouldn’t work so well at 7pm on a Saturday.”

Heads up! (or should that be “arms up”?) Thread­less $10 sale until Wednes­day morning.

Speak­ing of T-Shirts, the mad pro­lif­er­a­tion of t-sites expands to the Apple affi­cionado world with Insanely Great Tees.

And now for a Dork Report item aimed at both inter­face and typog­ra­phy gurus: Icon Words, from (who else?) The Icon­fac­tory.

Finally, a pod­cast I might lis­ten to: Pix­el­sur­geon’s Audio­sur­geon.
