My week on the web

Web browsers icons

Here are the websites I bookmarked into my del.icio.us account over the past seven days:

  • 50 Tips to Unclutter Your Blog
    'Blog clutter is the stuff your readers really don’t need, and it serves mainly to get in the way of your content and other vital information. Your content and important pages are the signal, and blog clutter is the noise.'
  • Mash
    Yahoo!'s new social network, currently in beta and by invitation-only. A consistent structural layout (like Facebook) with style customisation (like MySpace).
  • Last.fm Audio Fingerprinting beta application
    The future: a free API that lets you grab clean metadata based on an audio fingerprint. For now, it sends fingerprint data to bootstrap the moderation system. This doesn’t change any MP3 files on your computer.
  • Create JPEGs automatically with SVG
    'Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an image format [...] based on XML, you can generate images through stylesheets and other XML scripts [...] In this tip, I'll show you how to use SVG to generate images automatically, such as from statistical data.'
  • LastGraph
    'web-based system for making pretty wavegraphs of your Last.fm musical profile. The charts have time along the horizontal axis, and number of plays on the vertical; think of it as sort of a stacked line graph, but centered, smoothed, and generally nicer.'
  • Kosinski will program Disney's 'Tron' sequel
  • 'Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct "Tron," described as "the next chapter" of Disney's 1982 cult classic.'

    The SVG talks about 'the SVG viewer'. I'm glad 4 years later that situation has improved a lot. Any browser for example does SVG natively nowadays (unless you're still using Internet Explorer, that needs help, in many ways).
