This week's internet reviews
Art Of The Trench Even if you don't like fashion or raincoats, just loitering around Burberry's promotional site for their iconic trenchcoats will give you a sartorial buzz. With music provided by arch Brit miserabilists White Lies and the Maccabees, we are presented with hundreds of thumbnail photos of ordinary folk wearing coats. As you zoom in, the music fades out replaced by ambient street sounds, and you can comment, vote, share your favourites, or submit your own photos. Elsewhere The Story Of The Trench provides an elegant history lesson. One Hundred Days To Make Me A Better Person Just before Christmas, comedian and occasional English teacher in Skins Josie Long joined forces with a few artistic pals (including Isy Suttie of Peep Show fame), with a plan to make themselves better human beings. The idea they came up with was to make a pledge to do one thing, once every day for the next 100 days. For Josie, it was to talk to a stranger every day, while Scottish folk singer Pictish Trail has been writing one 30-second song per day for the last two months. Others have been learning Icelandic, living on less than £5, and writing haikus about Masterchef. It's not only Josie's friends who have taken part; the project is open to the public with 900 people joining the fun and tweeting and blogging the results.
