it's kind of a fan newsletter thing. Very old school. Remember going to gigs and getting programmes? Kind of like that, crossed with a monthly fan club newsletter. Fan clubs were great, and no-one bothers now, which is stupid. There's the technology to make something great, so we're trying. It's not great yet, but it's got potential. - Iain Baker

150 great things about the Underground | An unofficial birthday salute to a public transport titan - http://150greatthingsabouttheunderground.com/
For anyone with a passing interest in London, this blog is a must-read, but it's pretty much one of the best blogs out there, full stop. It's contemplative, poetic, thoughtful, considered, and beautifully written. It's done with passion for its subject, and is full of charming and unexpected insight into something which so many people use, yet so few truly understand. - Iain Baker

How Two Guys Figured Out The Number of Pools in Los Angeles - http://gizmodo.com/how-two...
"The Big Atlas of LA Pools is the answer, a 74-volume, 6,000-page book that lists every single pool, with photographs, in the Los Angeles Basin. (The survey does not include the San Fernando or San Gabriel Valleys; perhaps they could be covered in a sequel.) The pools are catalogued by address and even include the size, square footage, and approximate evaporation rate of the pool, as well as real estate information about the residence, including the parcel price, year built, and zoning code." - Iain Baker
A book only someone like Tony Hawk could afford. Hrm. Someone needs to liberate it. - Gabrielle
BBC News - Nicky Crane: The secret double life of a gay neo-Nazi - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news...
Amazing, detailed article. So evocative of the politics of the time, with all their confusion, rage, and immersion in popular culture. - Iain Baker

Million Lines of Code | Information Is Beautiful - http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visuali...
What were they thinking? Crikey, that's a LOT of code... - Iain Baker
Was thinking the same as well Victor (Re: Mouse DNA). I suppose it is only to make more comparisons. Also, we don't know if some of the projects here are deconstructing the 'macros' of the languages used in each project. Assembly is way more lines for way less work. So Windows 3.1 wouldn't have the same impact even with all these lines. - Zu from AOD

Good way to start mine as well, I am like this kid, I want to ride as far as I can, to that destination maybe. Change I can believe in, escaping previous bad experiences and start anew. The Mojave desert could be a nice place to start if it wasn't for aerosol spraying. - Zu from AOD

FTW. This is great! 8D - Zu from AOD
This makes you react to sculptures with a "Hey - I know that guy!" Every time I see the plaid shirt guy I think - Pete Seeger. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Haha, Pete Seeger! Thanks m9m 9) - Zu from AOD
22 windows updates, a Java update, AVG update, Security centre out of date - remind me again why i've not switched my old laptop on for six months? :(
Because this way you're only irritated once, instead of being irritated every single time you turned the dang thing on for the last six months. - RepoRat
And if you choose a Debian-based distro, be sure to choose something light(er) like Xfce or LXDE for the desktop environment. - Julian
I proposed Ninite Updater to someone else some days ago. Just login and let the magic begin. Wondering if there's still something like that app that was downloading Windows Updates off an alternate server and in silently made batches. - Zu from AOD
(Haha, funny Slippy as I just learned last week what an interloper was) Then I go with Xfce as well, on Source Mage so you can cast spells and browse after you compiled Firefox first, then the OS in a different terminal. - Zu from AOD
'I forgive you': The Clash's drummer Topper Headon makes peace with the man who sacked him - Features - Music - The Independent - http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...
"In the late 1970s, a drummer called Topper Headon joined The Clash, the most exciting rock'n'roll band in the world. There followed five years of non-stop playing, partying and drug-taking...but by 1982, Headon's heroin addiction was out of control, and Clash leader Joe Strummer was forced to sack him. Then things got really bad." - Iain Baker

OLD SCHOOL!!! Just a little reminder of how thankful I am that this place is still around :) - Iain Baker
We should make a come and left list for prosperity. Like a Friend and Feed (R&R) Hall of Fame. Chris Pirillo. We still had Robert Scoble doing the tours for the Gillmor Gang until very recently (although I haven't checked if that was still the case).. - Zu from AOD
