philgyford : Survival tips for the Middle Ages - Completely awesome stuff. I've thought about this kind of thing loads since I was a kid - how would you cope if you travelled back in time? Lots of conflicting ideas there.

plasticbag : This Flickr set contains pictures of an iPhone Cardboard mock-up with rounded corners - I love that people have time to do these things, and I really appreciate their existence. I'm a bit jealous, actually. I'd love to spend time like this...

Andy Baio : Kottke gets crafty with a cardboard iPhone - round those corners, mister!
cameron : The Apple iPhone: how big is it? - Jason puts his own cardboard prototype up against some similar devices: Nokia 7610, 5G ipod, Tivo remote, et al.
plasticbag : Jason Kottke has mocked up the size of the new iPhone in cardboard with pictures to get a sense of its form factor - God I'm keen on that iPhone although it is the most expensive thing ever made in the world. Jason's model makes it look a litlte on the large size, but considerably smaller and sexier than the Nokia N770 or most of the smart phones...

jcgregorio : Watch these movies, then we can talk (kottke.org) - No Miyazaki, not even one anime film. Tends to make me a bit skeptical of the list.
philgyford : Watch these movies, then we can talk (kottke.org) - Film critic Jim Emerson's list of 102 movies you should see before you're movie literate. At the time of writing I've seen 41 but can remember little about any of them.

Andy Baio : Kottke reviews first year as a pro blogger - 1,450 people donated a total of $39,900, but almost entirely in the first three weeks
plasticbag : Kottke reports on the year since he appealed to open up his site to micropatrons - It's an interesting reaction from him, but the conclusion is a bit disappointing - that he hasn't found it personally sustainable and isn't going to continue with the model. Shame.

plasticbag : Thoroughly very much enjoying Jason Kottke's design for a contributions bar - It's shiny and elegant and 37signals-ish, and anyone who doesn't like it is a grumpy old sod
djacobs : 01:02:03 4-5-6 - This message should be posted soon after 01:02:03 4-5-6, a date we won't see for another thousand years.

plasticbag : Wired News on Kottke going pro has a particularly nice section explaining Jason's feelings about advertising - "But eschewing advertisers is more of a risk. Kottke is avoiding them because, as a one-man operation, there's no easy way to neatly separate editorial and advertising." Couldn't agree more...
