One Number That Will Ring All Your Phones – This is such a great idea; why you would you ever want multiple phone numbers? It’s interesting to see that the US telecoms market finally seems to be trying new things.

Google phone – it’s for real – I really can’t comprehend why anyone is exited about this; what history or experience does Google have making consumer electronic devices? A phone is not a web app. Especially odd considering Google seem to be highly involved with the iPhone, which maybe a tactic admission that Google thinks the Google Phone isn’t going to do as well…

Katamari Damacy t-shirts – I’d quite like either the blue one or the yellow one, pretty please. Worth noting the design/code on Panic’s site while you’re there – very nicely done.

GoPlan – a nice Basecamp alternative, which looks on the surface like it could be better. It’s a shame it’s a hosted-only service though – I’d pay if I could install it on my server.

Using Lightroom At Etel – Since Lightroom 1.0 hit the shelves I’ve seen a lot of former Aperture evangelists raving about it, but I still just don’t get on well with it; I just don’t click with it the way I do with Aperture.

Panels and Growing Pains at SXSW – It sounds like a lot of the issues I had with Future of Web Apps were prevalent at SXSW Interactive this year
