Linkage 28/02/08

linkage

Ok, so in a semi regular feature from here on on I will post some links to cool stuff of interest that I bump into around the web that I etiher don’t have time to blog about, is covered elsewhere better anyway or just needs no explanation. Generally this is what I used Stumbleupon for anyway so some of my stumbles will be repeated here. The linkage posts are aside from the asides over on the side there too!

Previews : Firefox Extension so you can see the page these links link to without leave the page. Essential app from the makers of PicLens, the image browsing cool tool for Firefox, as previously mentioned in the Asides.

Tell Rall’s Cartoons…. some great political commentary on the run up to the US elections.

Animated John Lennon …. film made from interview by kid in the bed-in period.

Richard Branson has always been an amazing innovator and radical entrepreneur. From Mike Oldfield to Virgin Galactic, its sure has been an amazing journey so far for him and his Virgin brand. He is certainly no stranger to walking the path that has not being walked before.

So his latest conquest is space and you can’t aim much higher than that!
