Twee: TRANSVESTITES TOOK MY DOG.

Sad bikes.

Both via Heif.

The Atomium, Brussels.
Built for the 1958 World's Fair. Up close it's nicely dilapidated, like the Millennium Falcon. More photos.

Brussels.
Open house for the motorcycle cops.

Curbed is a new weblog built by Eliot and Khoi and written and published by Lockhart (I keep meaning to ask him if that's his real name). It's about New York real estate and other things.

Brussels.

NYT: Subway Officials Seek Ban on Picture-Taking. What a terrible idea. No mention of special permits for bloggers.

I have an invitation to open a Gmail account that I will give to the person who posts the most intriguing/entertaining/stunning self-portrait. Link to yours in the comments.

More from La Défense, edge of Paris.

In case you haven't noticed, this site has feeds now: XML and also Atom (do people use this?).

Grande Arche de la Défense, edge of Paris.

Eliot Shepard: The Gothamist Interview. I'm just trying to picture how one would position the spoon without dropping one's camera or otherwise looking... like a guy trying to wield a spoon and a camera.

Musée Carnavalet, Paris.
Over-the-top art deco and more.

Start your own group with Google Groups 2 (beta). Google gets into the mailing-list business.

Paris.

Les Halles, Paris.
A wide selection of trucker hats.

At a Gap.

Ideas and bits of code stolen from Jake, Rion, Jason and many others. Hooray for "View Source."

Many thanks to Blogger for 3.5 years of quality service.

London.

Line 14 ("Meteor"), Paris Métro.
The line is driverless, so there are no headlights. But there is a big windshield so you can see the darkness you are hurtling through. See also 12.30.2003, 6.20.2003.

Microsoft Word asks me: "Do you want to replace the existing Normal?" I hit "OK." So far things are pretty much the same. (Related.)
