Here's a nice Friday story: London Underground are recycling tube carriages into shops and workshops. Two things of note. 1 - we're getting new tube carriages. Hooray and huzzah. Maybe them come with *whisper* ventilation. Nah. That would be ridiculous. 2 - isn't it nice that they're recycling. Personally, I'd love to walk into, say, a newsagent and look around and realise that I'm actually standing in a carriage from the Jubilee line. It'd be just the kind of surreal thing that could brighten up an otherwise boring day.

Watching a webcam feed of the Museum of Forks, from Great Aunt Sylvia's garden or The View from a High Building in Pearsville, Arizona is seldom the most gratifying of web time spent. However, every so often there's a webcam that makes the concept all of a sudden make sense. The Brooklyn Botanical Garden cam is one of those.
This green fingered crew is currently experiencing a bloom of the Titan Arum, AKA the Corpse Flower. The last time it was seen was in 1939, at which time webcams had just not caught on. The reason for the rather charming corpse reference was because of the putrid smell that is emitted during the peak of its bloom, making the webcam an ideal place from which to witness this once in a lifetime event. The team is also updating a daily blog on the flower - they truly are making the most of the technology for our benefit.

Snapmania have come up with a brilliant idea, just in time for the summer break - the Tourist Remover. Imagine how much better it would be if the Eiffel Tower, Nelson's Column or Buckingham Palace had no one around. Very 28 Days Later.
By submitting a series of photos where the various parts of the background can be seen at least twice, they will perform some photoshop wizardry to eliminate the unwanted bodies. And best of all, it's free!
