Bookmarks for the last few days:

• salmagundi: 10 brilliant reasons to live in Johannesburg - My friend writes about why she likes living in Johannesburg. Even though I left, I can see how many of her points apply. Pity about all the negatives.
• Welcome to Sacred Dub: Bill Laswell Discography and the Dub/Ambient Podcast - Interesting Bill Laswell fansite.
• Bill Laswell: Extending energy and experimentation - “Few people on this sphere truly deserve to be called a genius.” An interview with Bill Laswell from 1999.
• Trojan Records - Web home of the legendary UK reggae label.
• GeekStuff4U.com - 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA HDD Stage Rack - This is really neat. I want one :)
• Everything’s Gone Green - A really great little film, written by Douglas Coupland. Worth watching.

Today’s bookmarks:

• Uninet - The South African academic and research network: International Development Research Centre - Funny to find a research paper I wrote 10 years ago, still kickin’ around the Internet… I remember this was a great gig: I was between jobs and got paid well to write about something I cared about :)
• Wooster Collective - Love this blog. Always something good to look at here.
• Write to Done - New blog about writing from the guy who brought us Zen Habits. Promising.
• Hyperdub Records: BURIAL - UNTRUE - NOVEMBER 2007 - Interview with Burial: “The tunes were made quite fast in the middle of the night and they had to fight for their right to exist.”
• Stealth Job Site NotchUp Makes Companies Pay To Interview You - In order to encourage high performers who are not currently looking for work to interview, this startup offers money.
• » Streetcar map for Toronto ? Spacing Toronto ? understanding the urban landscape - Good ideas, these. Nice design, too.

Today’s bookmarks:

• Funky Ways to Express Yourself - This is pretty funny. Upload a picture and transform it into a cartoon, warp it, or make an avatar of yourself. Good clean fun. Not sure about the UI, though.
• AskMeNow Search ? Because You Shouldn?t Have to Search - This is fun (but may be expensive, depending on your mobile plan). They even have a sense of humour if you ask a question that can’t really be answered factually :)
• Wiki - AboutUs Wiki Page - A wiki page “about” every organization in the world. Interesting idea. Good complement to Wikipedia.
• Google Mobile - I use this on my BB to have both my work mail (Exchange/Enterprise Server) and all my personal mail (aggregated in Gmail) on the same device. It’s pretty awesome.
• Shifting Mind » Postalicious - This looks really good - an easy, full-featured way to get daily bookmarks into my blog. Bryce told me the other day that he was surprised I didn’t have a linkblog… so I’ll try this for a bit and see if it works.
• WordPress Makes Sense For Many Non-Blog Websites | iface thoughts - “So here goes my justification for why WordPress makes a lot of sense for many simple web sites, including the non-blog ones.”
