My week on the web

Web browsers icons

Here are the websites I bookmarked into my del.icio.us account last week:

  • Musical Minifigs - a photoset on Flickr
    Lego minifigs inspired by bands, musicians, and composers.
  • Free Barcode Image Online Generator
    I used this to print out my Tesco Clubcard barcode on a tiny strip of paper that I cellotaped to the outside of my wallet. The look on people's faces when I wave my wallet on the reader and the self-service till says 'Clubcard accepted' is priceless.
  • Mobilesign
    Searchable A-Z of British Sign Language words shown as short videos. Very spare interface, perfect on mobile devices.
  • http://www.3mindme.com/
    Email it anything and it will email you back at the date and time you specify in natural language in the email address (e.g. nexttuesdayat5pm@3mindme.com).
  • 'Getting Things Done' In 60 Seconds
    I have read the whole book and it does make a whole lot of sense, but this is a very nice, very condensed and yet exhaustive overview of the whole process
  • stikkit
    Online virtual sticky notes. You can share stikkits to work on, and update the notes by sending emails to them.
  • Bokai Online Barcode Image Generator
    Tesco barcode type is EAN128C
  • Just One Club Card - Combine All Of Your Club Cards
    'This is a simple web application I made. The goal is to fix the problem of having to carry around tens of loyalty, discount, and club cards every time I go shopping. I finally broke down and created this page when I realized my wallet was way too thick.'
  • VentureBeat » Analysis: Plaxo and Friendfeed, pushing the “feed”
    FriendFeed' and Plaxo Pulse let you designate friends, then easily add feeds of your activities from other sites. The result [...] a continuous stream of updates [...] - Twitter messages, uploaded YouTube videos, blog posts, shared Google Reader items'
  • 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication'
    A quote by Leonardo da Vinci
