The Chicago Transit Authority has the most helpful public transportation maps I know of. Buses! El! Subway! Train! All on one map! If only dc could do the same.

since everybody's seen this online exhibit of tsarist color photographs, I thought I'd put it up also. via kottke.org most recently, but also via countless others.

The washington city paper has had two very interesting cover stories, one about shoplifting, and the other about having the olympics here. The print edition is out, but the newest article hasn't shown up online at post time. So this is either about shoplifting or the olympics. It's a little weblog russian roulette.



Have a question about something that happened in texas? The Handbook of Texas Online has all the answers. ALL the answers.

Oh, look: someone has kindly grouped together a bunch of publishing trade magazines for the people who need that sort of thing.

You probably saw this in blogs of note, but even stodgy old congressional quarterly has set up a weblog.

I finally finally got more of my web page up. The index page takes a long time to upload, which probably bad but whatever. Those feeling impatient can skip here to the main page.

This is supersupercool. Someone has created this thing where you can look at aerial photos and zoom in and out and it all looks quite amazing. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my computer at home cause I've been lazy about updates of netscape/explorer, but the scrolling and zooming abilities are amazing! I found my apartment building! and my office! and my old dorm! give it a shot, cause it is SO worth your while. The point that I chose is chicago, I believe.

So I've been really really into my record player recently. And I've been listening to Yaz, which is supergood, and similarly also to this Erasure album, and less similarly this Madness album, especially "embarrassment" which is just a sublime song.
