Disambiguity - » Ambient Intimacy: Excellent stuff on following friends in Twitter, Flickr, etc. I must try and remember some of this for all those times I try and explain my online life to non-geek friends who look at me like I'm some weird stalking nerd. (via Yoz)
This Guy Can Get 59 MPG in a Plain Old Accord. Beat That, Punk: People who compete to get the best mileage out of cars by turning engines off, not braking, and more complicated techniques. (via Kottke)
Image: Architect scales back Smithfield plans - Building: Some good news about the redevelopment of the west end of Smithfield Market, but hard to tell exactly how good.
