http://tresanos.blogspot.com/2008/10/sarah-palin-word.html

Tres años de soledad. The dating travails of the single working mother of a six-year-old, as well as some Blue State politics and observations about the directions my country is heading in. I have strong opinions about just about everything, and I'm not afraid to share them with you. anonymously! An interesting language-related critique of Palin is here.

Tres años de soledad. The dating travails of the single working mother of a six-year-old, as well as some Blue State politics and observations about the directions my country is heading in. I have strong opinions about just about everything, and I'm not afraid to share them with you. anonymously! William Kristol and the Sarah Palin Problem. For anyone wondering if the right wing of the Republican party has any integrity left, please read Bill Kristol's latest Op-Ed piece. I can think of a thousand ways t...

THE CITY PROJECT: Requiem

http://city-project.blogspot.com/2010/01/requiem.html

Leonard Street, EC2A. This has also caught the eye of the Chaotic Semiotic. Who posts the full text. The poem (if it wants to be seen as that? Is certainly worth a read, resonating like something somehow familiar, a "lesser-known Wilfred Owen". Yet after several reads I still can't untangle the mix of sentiment sympathetic to the military (if not to war) with Temple Ov Thee Psychick Youth spelling. Writing about finding a lost book. I called the city opaque. Here it goes further into the occult.

THE CITY PROJECT: Modernism in Cansado, Mauritania - 1966, Architectural Digest

http://city-project.blogspot.com/2010/03/modernism-in-cansado-mauritania-1966.html

Modernism in Cansado, Mauritania - 1966, Architectural Digest. In a hotel and "cultural embassy" in the former dockland quarter of Amsterdam, I found old copies of Architectural Digest magazine from 1966, back when modernism was still modern. The magazine described it like this:. In the 50 years since it is hard to see how a town of 5,000 - let alone the proposed 35,000 - could prosper simply from a railhead, and a port. In this age of automation, where are the jobs? Zouerat is born at the end of the 195...

THE CITY PROJECT: Co-creating London

http://city-project.blogspot.com/2010/03/co-creating-london.html

What would you do to make London a better place? That's the question being asked at Co-Create London. The first project from the Co-Creation Hub. Although various planning/social media/branding agencies are involved, Co-Create London isn't trying to sell anything. Instead the plan looks like:. Crowdsourcing suggestions for things that'd improve London. The co-creation bit: a workshop with contributors, "London experts", and Co-Creation Hub team members to develop these suggestions into clear ideas. Throu...

THE CITY PROJECT: Walk II: Regent's Canal east

http://city-project.blogspot.com/2009/05/walk-ii-regents-canal-east.html

Walk II: Regent's Canal east. So I went for a walk. The estate's boarded up, condemned - but I've lived in worse places than that, those blocks last alright enough so what do they want to go knock it down for? Ah, the canalside got cleaned up no longer a rubbish dump but an amenity. Too good for social tenants. So knock it down, build it up, sell it to the middle classes at £500 a square foot. That's the capital. But when she's this beautiful you forgive, don't you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

THE CITY PROJECT: Dalston Junction station, East London line

http://city-project.blogspot.com/2010/02/dalston-junction-station-east-london.html

Dalston Junction station, East London line. Bleak, isn't it. Modern, antiseptic, safety-first-handrailed to funnel us in and funnel us out more efficiently – quite accidentally a beautifully smooth edge to grind a skateboard on, but no doubt they’re developing facial-recognition CCTV that’ll call security as soon as that thought even crosses your mind. I understand we weren’t going to get anything world-changing at dirty old Dalston Junction, but did it have to be quite as soulless as this? This is an on...
