Via read 2.0. A flow diagram of the possible outcomes (in fact, only some possible outcomes) from the recent Google Book Search Settlement fairness hearing. It’s called March Madness and there isn’t really more to add. URL:http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/gbs-march-madness-diagram-final.pdf

Here is an example of London, the main addition being the world’s tallest buildings. Seriously, I just can’t get over how cool that is.

» London Skyline
For someone like myself with a well documented obsession with London skyscrapers this is probably the greatest toy ever conceived. Built by Hayes Davidson this tool allows you to play around with the London skyline, allowing you for instance to drop the Burj Dubai in next to the Gherkin, or plonking the Eiffel Tower down in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. It illustrates the majesty and scale of these buildings and allows us to envisage a London of the future, a London that is still leading the world.

» Kickstarter
Startup offering social funding for creative projects. You, the creator, put a target to raise. People then pledge on the site. Only if the target is reached does money change hands. If that happens Kickstarter takes a 5% cut. Interesting website, but how many people are going to pledge on this? The key question is whether it is worth using this for a FAF round, as against just asking them. It might be in terms of ease, comprehensiveness, clarity, goal building and sense of mission though.
