If you are wondering about public transportation in faraway cities, Metro Planet is the way to go. Except for Chicago, where only a map of Downtown is given, although why I am not entirely sure.

I should have known that typing "eat" and "bicycle" into google would lead me here.

this is also rather interesting, although highly heterogenous as far as content is concerned.

since I haven't been updating so superfrequently I thought I'd add a transcript of the spanish inquisition sketch to cheer people up.

the house of mirth is only going to be playing in New York and Los Angeles, which I think is very unfair.

A Historical Atlas of the 20th Century. I particularly like the animated maps (there's a good one of south american governments).

lots of demographic maps of Chicago using census data. snazzy stuff. The ones showing demographic changes from 1980-1990 I think are particularly the most interesting.

After thinking a fair amount about offering up some links for today, I think that I'm not going to. I had found some interesting stuff, but didn't note it down (!) and so now I forget where it was. Today I found out that my old email address will cease to exist in two weeks. very sad. more links tomorrow, I promise.

This was a busy week, so my updating was perhaps not as frequent as would have liked, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Anyway, I've decided to dedicate this posting to recent readings. I just finished reading King Leopold's Ghost which was really quite fascinating, as I had previously not read much of anything about european colonialism in africa. I have also just started reading a biography of mayor Daley (the old one). I haven't gotten very far, so I can't say too much in the way of how good it is. And this is next on my list. I'm trying to read more fiction.
