The NY Times has a pretty interesting interactive map of homicides in NYC dating from 2003 to the present based on data provided by the police department.
Take a look at it here.

Goth-cycle

Unless you’re part of some sort of urban-cyclying-gothic sect or really ARDENTLY have a problem with pigeons nesting on your wheel cover, is there any need for these?
P.F.1
Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Today was the first of MoMA’s P.S.1 warm-up sessions for the summer. Work A.C’s winning entry, P.F.1 has, in a way, restored my faith in the competition. After a few years of The installation is in my view, one of the smartest and best ever to be assembled in the museum’s garden. Not only is it very current as an idea (urban farms), it is simple, utilizes common materials in a different way, it is cheaply made and absolutely cool. It was definitely refreshing to see.

Waterfalls
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Sunday afternoon, after The Flood, we took the water taxi from the South Street Seaport to check out all of Olafur Eliasson’s Waterfalls.
First of all, DON’T take the water taxi to view them… Everything makes it sound like the main purpose of their waterfalls tour is, well, the waterfalls…but this is just the same touristy water taxi that goes to Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, etc. and then breezes through the falls. I guess I should have known better.
Now that that is out of the way, on to the waterfalls. The waterfalls were, uhmm, niehh… I’m not sure I’ll be able to pinpoint exactly what it is, but there might be a few issues that make it all unimpressive and just uninteresting.
On Beijing
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Paul Goldberger from The New Yorker has a new article in the latest issue about Beijing and its incredible rate of change…
“Chinese people don’t like anything old—they want everything new. If someone came from the moon, they would think this is a newer country than America.” She paused. “Maybe that is what Mao wanted,” she said.

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU.
Gabe just pointed me to this amazing stop-motion-painting-on-walls video from Buenos Aires. Absolutely incredible.
