Okay, that's just one-quarter of a marathon, but it's still quite an achievement for a couch potato like me. And, of course, it was tons of fun, although it was so sunny I don't think my eyes will ever be the same again :(.

I've been pointing out these links to myself for ages, so there's a lot of those!

• Weta Digital made a pretty nice video advertising New Zealand.
• A whole lot of articles from PoetryFoundation.org: Original Gangsta: How the poems of 18th century poet Alexander Pope prefigured modern hip-hop rivalries, John Donne's "The Sun Rising", My Poet, an absolutely adorable essay,
• YawningBread's articles on Otto Fong coming out (and how the newspapers reacted),
• Articles off the Singapore blogosphere, including Hate me, I'm Chinese national.
• A side project threatens to get totally out of control and I think, "How fun!" by Joel Spolsky.
• SinGeo, a website collating maps and other suchlike on Singapore.
• Call Center: The Movie.
• A film of the first recorded DNA-protein interaction (?! I thought I saw something like this in undergrad!)
• Delhi Belly, a blog on Delhi, written - I think? - by an expat. He's got a blog of all his articles.
• Living in Victoria, Australia.
• This blog by a Singaporean guy who's going to Buenos Aires for his undergrad - without knowing the language! Sounds like fun!
• C'était un Rendez-vous: one scary/crazy film.
• A social project in Maharashtra.
• OMFG one painful, painful website: try not to lose anything on Singapore Taxis, if you can! The phone service is excellent, if a little hard to get anybody on the phone.
• "Bisque policy" is apparently the correct term for a policy of letting employees take a few "sick" days without actually being sick - sort of a spontaneous casual leave. It's a good idea!
• Here's a pretty poem by WH Auden.
• Asean's response to Myanmar from the MrBrownShow. Much funnies.

I'm back in Singapore.

Should I forget, this is my favourite APOD photo ever (so far).
