Right, its a new year so i’m going to write lots of useful things on here. I promise this time.
So to get the ball rolling here are my links from round the web over the last 7 days.
Christopher Niemanns weather predictions for 2010 courtesy of the New York Times – Niemann doesn’t post all that often but his posts are always of a high quality. I recommend subscribing to the feed.
Some things that you never think of could be designed with a little more thought to make everyone’s life easier. One of them is boarding passes. I’d like to see something like this used, but judging by this article, there’s probably not much chance of it happening.
This site from the icanhaz network is pure gold. Say no more.
Oh, and by the way. Happy New Year!!

The Old House and the Sea
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008
Another Interesting article from The New York Times about a 23 bedroom, 103 year old mansion in the Narragansett Bay.
“In 1961, when Mr. Wood bought the house with his ex-wife Joan, who is also an architect, for $3,600, it had been empty for two decades. All of its 65 windows were smashed, and its slate roof was wide open to the sky. Vandals had been creative: on the second floor, the interior shingles were embedded with marbles (they still are), which had been blasted there by some sort of firearm.”
Sounds like they have a really nice community there. It’s really nice that this house is being used by people that really appreciate it, instead of it being a rich mans play thing. If only more people thought like Mr. Wood.
