- A quite-excellent plaintext, fullscreen editor for Win 2000 or XP. This is a very helpful thing for me, as I am easily distracted when not writing on Rage Engine One.
- Check out these haunting graffiti pieces in Lebanon. I was nearly gutted by this one.
- EnglishRussia.com is a fascinating site documenting life in the former Soviet Union. Some amazing photos here, including this set from the Moscow subway, and this picture, which makes me want to cry out “Who is driving car? Bear is driving car! Oh no, how can that be?!?”1
Please note: sometimes, there are boobies on those photo pages. Don’t look at it too much at work!
- While the MBTA can’t manage to roll out its card system at all locations at the same time2, Japan is welcoming its new Robotic train station attendant overlords.
- I’d completely forgotten that the Yo La Tengo Is Murdering The Classics benefit CD for WFMU featured some lovely Adrian Tomine artwork, but it does.
- Carl Sagan’s semi-famous Baloney Detection Kit is an excellent tool for rhetoric and scientific debate. It also has an excellent name.
- You can now get public domain books in PDF format over at Google Book Search. So, if you’ve been holding off on reading The Inferno in Italian or English, now’s your chance!
