Some have emerged and gone quickly away… others have grown in readership and voice. Whereas traditional media is often lacking (or at least less timely), the web allows easy startup, low-cost, and minimal editorial interference… making everyone their own publisher. While this is great, it’s also created a somewhat disconnected conversation depending on your desires… and also creates significant work to maintain a wide net.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://landscapeandurbanism.blogspot.com/2010/07/beauty-of-reading-books.html">Landscape+Urbanism: The Beauty of Reading (Books)</a></em>http://alexhwilliams.com/post/853325886http://alexhwilliams.com/post/853325886Sat, 24 Jul 2010 01:56:48 -0700<object width="400" height="251"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bZP4Ugev82I&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bZP4Ugev82I&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="251" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>What a class act. </p>http://alexhwilliams.com/post/850736893http://alexhwilliams.com/post/850736893Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:51:14 -0700<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5qsa53MyZ1qz5a5ao1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Phase 2 of High Line Park will open Spring 2011.</p>http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826905500http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826905500Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:18:05 -0700<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5qrs3Uz5c1qz5a5ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.buildabetterburb.org/">Build a Better Burb</a></p>http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826872829http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826872829Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:07:14 -0700<object width="400" height="251"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fxVH5sKUlPg&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fxVH5sKUlPg&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="251" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>You, your friends and your johnson.</p> <p>(via <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2010/07/17/seventies-motor-boat.html">BoingBoing</a>)</p>http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826849571http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826849571Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:59:54 -0700<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5qilqloWY1qz5a5ao1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>There are still treasures to be discovered in this world.</p>http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826198585http://alexhwilliams.com/post/826198585Sat, 17 Jul 2010 20:49:02 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5o6iojO0y1qz5a5ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Batman v.
