NYT: Unstoppable
Fixie love from the Grey Lady. Approving, full of clichés, not entirely unpoetic...and certain to accelerate the massification it decries.

Momus on shibuya-kei and so much more
"And so the Japanese keep themselves very well informed. When they travel to the west, they know where to go. They consume culture in a way we, its progenitors and original makers, are too complacent to."

Gary Gygax, World Dictator?
Lots of interesting points about downstream consequences of unconscious decisions at the level of architecture, the neotenous society, and so forth. Bottom line: the last few decades of my life don't look as if they will be much fun at all.
