I have nothing to say, really.
Fuck off.
Maps
If I ruled the world, or at least a publishing company, all books would contain as much supplementary information as possible. Nonfiction, fiction—doesn’t matter. Every work would have an appendix filled with diagrams, background information, digressions and anecdata. And of course, maps. Lots and lots of maps.

A Brief Comparison of Google Maps, Bing Maps, & Yahoo! Maps
The Yahoo Maps look the most like old paper road maps.

- Startseite – Porkcamp @ mixxt – Porkcamp wird eine Veranstaltung Ende Januar 2010 in Hamburg sein, bei der über ein Wochenende hinweg ein Schwein geschlachtet und verarbeitet wird. Wir werden uns am Freitag abend treffen, etwas trinken und uns kennenlernen. Am Samstag morgen werden wir ein möglichst gut aufgezogenes Schwein von 200 Kilogramm mithilfe eines Metzgers schlachten und zerlegen, alle anderen Schritte des Wochenendes ergeben sich daraus: Wir werden wursten und braten, Metzgerfrühstücke zu uns nehmen und zu unseligen Zeiten unfiltriertes Landbier trinken. Wir werden uns über Tierhaltung unterhalten, über alte Rezepte und neue Ideen. Und wir werden das ganze Schwein von Kopf bis Fuss verarbeiten und essen. Es wird das allerbeste Wochenende aller Zeiten.
