Linkee Links
This list is by no means definitive, but we are nothing without our ambitions. If you know of (or have) a link that you think belongs here then by all means let me know. And, of course, links to da5id.com are always welcome.
The menu du jour comprises the following:
- People I Know, or like, or admire, or whatever
- To do with work in some way
- The Cult of Apple
- Stuff I just plain like (or visit often, at least)
To paraphrase Cutty Ranks, choose one!
