Words cannot even begin to describe what is in these photos. Here is the link to the flickr feed.

J.J. Abrams, the guy behind LOST, Fringe, Cloverfield and the new Star Trek film, writes a compelling piece in the May issue of Wired about the loss of delayed gratification in our current hyper-connected society. A good read.
I haven’t read the entire website yet, but from first look, and a report over at Google Maps Mania, it seems this guy used twitter to make his way from the UK to New Zealand — all on the backs of kind strangers (not their figurative backs). He did it all in 30 days, and it was for charity, and he is a journalist. Seems like an interesting twist on the One Red Paperclip idea.
Almost a year ago in July I wrote about YouCity and some test maps they had created for Manhatten. Today I ran across a post at Digital Urban that suggests they have released a final version of the map. It still looks really neat, and zooms and pans like butter.
