Friday links - 6th July 2007

From this week’s surfing…

• Google Maps Mobile. Make sure you have enough download credit — it’s not exactly bandwidth-lite.
• phpMyID. Set up and run an Open ID server for your own domain in five minutes.
• 100% renewable power for the UK by 2027 might be possible according to the Centre for Alternative Technology. Shame this is also 100% unlikely to happen.
• The Beastie Boys hook back up with Money Mark and get on down for The Mix Up
• Hero Cabbie: Police Took My Good Nike Trainers. Hilarious. As is this.
• A new neologism entered my vocabulary. I do a lot of yak shaving.
• Coding Horror. Fantastic articles by the dozen from Jeff Atwood.
• RailsConf Europe. Roll on September.
• Yes, I want one too.
