Wouldn't recommend designing a UI with sunglasses on... that is all.

Online Video Fans, You'll Love PopScreen
I've had the pleasure of trying out PopScreen (http://popscreen.com) today, a site for online video discovery and sharing. The design is gorgeous. I think that may be why I love it so, even with the incomplete "add as a friend" functionality.
But it cries out perfection. It reminds me of Vimeo. And I've found new Richard Dawkins videos to watch, so it has to be the best site I've found this week.

Introducing HRHub, UK HR News in Brief
I’ve put together a page at http://mattharwood.com/hr which aggregates a few important HR information sources. It will hopefully make keeping up to date with news in the HR space that bit easier, for those that need to! The news stream also comes through: 
- Twitter at @HRHubUK
- RSS at http://feeds.feedburner.com/HrHub
- Facebook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/HR-Hub/179707995114
---Techie Alert---
I built the page using SimplePie (http://simplepie.org) for the RSS, and 960 as a CSS framework (http://960.gs)
I’ll probably release a few pages on other topics in the future too.. Seems like a nice idea!

Rekindled Love With Mister Wong
I used to love social bookmarking site Mister Wong (http://www.mister-wong.com), but for some reason stopped using it in late 2007. As an early user I got badges and everything, but alas, I fell out of love with social bookmarking in general.
But now I'm back. And they have a FANTASTIC new feature - importing the links that you tweet. The links go in a separate list to your usual bookmarks, keeping everything sweet and clean.
Could be the only service that backs up your tweeted links?
