Tate Modern| Past Exhibitions | The Unilever Series: Carsten Höller: Test Site
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/carstenholler/photos.shtm Modern art often requires some quotes around “art” and a grain or two of salt with which to take it. Installation “art” is usually also accompanied by a self-applied slap to the forehead, all the better to force the pretension to be processed by one’s brain. Imagine my delight, then, to see this squeeful […]
46 rue de Vaugirard…foule de souvenirs! | Flickr – Photo Sharing!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/leoniedas/357345796/ A sad confirmation of what I’ve been fearing for a while now: The Association des Etudiants Protestants de Paris (AEPP) has been shuttered. This was a fabulous hostel when I was visiting in 1998. A majority of its residents were long-term stays; students and sage travellers angling for a great deal. The rooms were […]

Free Worldwide Travel Guides – Wikitravel
http://wikitravel.org/en/Main_Page My “great resources” tag is an honorary one, at the moment. This is a great concept – open source, real-time updated travel information – but at the moment there is a dearth of info available. I’ll stick with the very generous, though less up-to-date offerings from the Rough Guides.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070228/ap_en_ot/france_picasso_theft_12 Picasso piantings are stolen in Paris “Piantings”? Is this another art form in which Picasso vented his misogyny? I’m not a fan – can you tell? “Disappointments” tag applies as there weren’t more of them lost to the Proudhon devotees. (Temptation to retitle story “Picasso Piantings Piinched in Piaris” resisted!)

Old-Jonesys reviews – StumbleUpon

Apple (United Kingdom) – Why You’ll Love a Mac – A Mac is the ultimate upgrade.
http://www.apple.com/uk/getamac/ The Peep Show guys take over for the American Mac and PC actors. I’m not sure how I feel about this; the American Mac guy was skanky, but not entirely untrustworthy. I’ve learned, after 3 seasons, that Jez is a brainless twerp who doesn’t produce much of value. This is not how I view […]
Are you in career transition? Been laid off? Want a new job? | VocationVacations®
http://www.vocationvacations.com/ “Vocation Vacation” hooks you up with people doing your dream job, to let you experience whether or not the reality lives up to the expectations. It’s a great idea, but is currently available only in the US and UK. When it arrives in Canada, I’ll change my thumb direction; until then, however, I’m disappointed.
