  1. The New York Review of Books: Summoning the Spirits

    Fascinating article about Victorian mediums, spirit photographers etc. (subscribers only)

    Interesting review of Benjamin M. Friedman’s ‘The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth’ (subscribers only).

  4. The New York Review of Books: The Coming Meltdown

    I underlined this review of two books on environmental disaster when I read it. Not sure why now, but still.

  5. Dorian moore : Dalston to Old Street

    Like a slow and clunky (in a good way) east London version of that movie where a guy drives across Paris insanely quickly.

  7. Enid Crow Disasters

    Nice Cindy Sherman-esque self portrait photography of characters witnessing disasters. (via Haddock)

  8. Royal Festival Hall | Information Pages

    The RFH are selling mats made out of the 1950s carpet they took up for their refurbishment. Nice, but £55.

    Detailed exploration of an Internet Explorer CSS z-index bug. It saved my sanity last week.
