Taxi omnipotence

The cool folks at the exploratorium (in partnership with stamen design) have built a wicked way to visualize travel through San Francisco. Cabspotting lets you see real time GPS information from taxis traveling through the bay. Patterns emerge as people pulse through the city.

Musical Bridge

Walking along the Millennium Bridge after a wonderful visit at the Tate Modern yesterday I saw a weird site. This guy was bent over a bunch of electrical equipment with wires attached to the bridge's guy wires and headphones on. Dressed in all black and a fashionable coat, I didn't think he was an engineer or someone working on the bridge.

He handed me the headphones and I heard a wonderful jangly harp like sound. The man was Bill Fontana and he had come out from San Francisco to work on an installation sound sculpture for the Tate Modern.
