That London travel map is really intesting, I'd like to see it for a wider area!

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 1 June 2006 22:05 (twenty years ago)

If you go to their site, they have a travel-time map for all of the UK, I believe.

Holy crap Ireland imports and lot of petroleum, as does - what is that - Mautitius?

Crimea River (Mark C), Friday, 2 June 2006 09:29 (twenty years ago)

I don't think that's ireland. I think it might be England...

Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 2 June 2006 11:00 (twenty years ago)

That's Ireland. Britain exports because of Scotland's North Sea oil.

We Feel Fine

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. Madness, the first movement, opens with a wildly swarming mass of around 1,500 particles, emanating from the center of the screen and then careening outwards, bouncing off walls and reacting to the behavior of the mouse. Each particle represents a single feeling, posted by a single individual. The color of each particle corresponds to the tone of the feeling inside – happy positive feelings are bright yellow, sad negative feelings are dark blue, angry feelings are bright red, calm feelings are pale green, and so on.

Holland seems to export as much petroleum as like the whole middle east, I didn't know that!

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Saturday, 3 June 2006 01:15 (twenty years ago)

also wefeelfine is radical.

A record of the geological Brexit from the last glacial phase to the current Holocene one. I'm presuming places like Howick and Goldcliff were very important 16000 years ago!

my goto map for when I've just read some godawful metropolitan smug chattering cack in the graun and need to reign in my class hatred. You successfully gentrified SW Doggerland - now its all yours suckers!
