1. 1st Arrondissement — The 50 Most Stylish Neighborhoods in the World Almost every city in the world has that one area where cool kids congregate. Whether it's the shops, the bars and restaurants, the galleries and museums, or just some unidentifiable vibe that the neighborhood exudes. These are the places that emerge as destinations for unique fashion, style, and culture. But it's more than just a fashion sense that make these 'hoods stand out—art, architecture, and a booming subculture scene are all factors that give some places the extra something that make them more stylish than others. Paris, New York, and Tokyo may be the first places you think of when it comes to style, but it's time to think beyond. Written by Julian Kimble (@JRK316)
You're Bored? Are You Kidding Me? • Fevered Mutterings (Updated 11th August 2016). So…I saw your tweet. You’re “bored”? Bored. Really? I am…absolutely floored. You are everything I aspire to be. Oh. Back. Which is just incredible. You are amazing. I mean, by being “bored”, you must have… Started a blog (try going here to get cheap, reliable hosting – those guys are great)…and then learned how to tell stories that really make people care? Feasted your eyes on the 67,000 historical maps of the Rumsey Collection (including the above Mercator map of Europe from 1607). Walking for weeks, months and years in the outdoors, calipering the vast physical and human stage called landscape with my legs, is the opposite of boring. …or just went for a walk where you are right now? Packed a bag, walked out your front door, caught a bus, caught another bus, caught yet another bus, and kept going until you ended up somewhere incredible? Not enough for you? I mean, there’s other stuff – but let’s face it, doing these things really ate up your free time.

c u r i o | Imaging rare, unusual, and intriguing objects at the Brown University Library While the vast majority of my work involves photographing items in collection, it may also have become clear in my blog posts that I’m occasionally asked to document library events and library spaces. All of Brown’s libraries have some incredible spaces – for research, for teaching, for collaboration, and for study – and Brown has been diligent in their efforts to maintain their libraries as 21st-century learning environments. As a result, I often have the opportunity to document the renovation of these spaces, as well as the items in Brown’s collections that are on view in the libraries. This past October, Brown alumna and generous Brown University Library supporter Elizabeth Z. Chace (’59, PHB ’96 hon., GP ’13, GP ’15) donated Break Up of Time, 2006, by John Okulick. The challenging part about photographing the sculpture is its location; it’s great for visibility, but it’s tough to get a nice, straight-on shot of it.
Julie Loves English Re: Portege R835-P56X wireless - why does it suck? - Toshiba Forums I think its the Intel Wifi 1000 card stock card. I replaced it with the Intel Wifi 6300 and added a third antenna for around $60 and it was easy.

I enabled QOS, WMM and prioritize on the 5 GHz band and can easily stream AVHDC Hi def video from my server. I could not get this from the stock card no matter what I did. I ordered the parts off Amazon, and did the install myself. As for the third antenna, I just coiled it up and taped it to the DVD drive. Shame on Toshiba for shipping with this crappy card.

Each individual lives in isolation in a 'cell', with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Most humans welcome this development, as they are skeptical and fearful of first-hand experience. People forget that humans created the Machine, and treat it as a mystical entity whose… (more) The Machine Stops is a short science fiction story. (less)
