Sohei Nishino walked the city of London on foot for a month, wandering the streets and recording images from every possible angle. About 4,000 of these photographs, hand printed in his own dark room, were meticulously pieced together with scissors and glue in his Tokyo studio. The result was an aerial view of London, which was reshot as a completed collage to produce a final image. More of Nishino’s collages are on show at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London

Only the staunchest Apple haters and self-deluded "openness" ideologues are going to pony up that kind of dough for a tablet that can't offer a comparable experience and doesn't have better tech specs. The Xoom doesn't even have the advantage of working with a carrier that Apple's tablet doesn't. In seven days, there will be both native CDMA and GSM models of the iPad 2.
Think about this: yesterday when I checked, the Android Marketplace had sixteen Honeycomb tablet-resolution apps. Sixteen. And you know what's not included in that sixteen? That space game that they show the guy playing in the Xoom commercials. In other words, they had to put a fake game in the commercial. Would they have done that if they had even one compelling application that could make the Xoom look better than the iPad?

Native Americans everywhere: You forgot to include that it has been a few years now that the team should have realized that their name is an insult to a group of people. They could make a quick and simple change, like to Reds, or Commies, or Buckskins, or Foreskins.
Gene Weingarten: They won't be the foreskins so long as Snyder is in charge. 
Haha. Circumcision joke! 
It's okay, I'm Jewish. 

Well, a party that I gave at my house influenced me. I gave a Christmas party last year—well, two Christmases ago—where I did a Sam Cooke show. I didn’t perform as R. Kelly. I performed the Sam Cooke show from 1964, when he performed at the Copacabana.
OLDHAM: You performed the whole set?
KELLY: I did the whole set. I invited, like, 1,000 people out to my house, and everybody had to be dressed like it was the ’60s. People had the long-stem cigarettes and the zoot suits and all that stuff, man. It was just a good time.

You can’t yet buy E85 cellulosic ethanol anywhere because no one is making it in commercial quantities, though plenty of companies, like Mascoma and partners DuPont  and Danisco are working toward commercial production. POET, the big ethanol producer based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, provided the cellulosic ethanol for Holm’s cross country trip. Holm has to bring this advanced fuel with him, so when we were driving around San Francisco he had 200 gallons of it in the back of his truck. That should be enough to get him to South Dakota, where he can pick up some more corn-cob ethanol from POET before heading further east.

This is a new piece I started this weekend. Tentatively titled Conductor, it recreates the New York subway system as a musical instrument. It’s currently built in HTML5 + Javascript. SVG was very useful, as I could create the design in Illustrator, then import the coordinates into Javascript.
