as usual: the writing, the photographs… jeez, you can practically SMELL the deliciousness!

David Hagerman can do no wrong, foodwise

from the Guardian, pictures not so evocative as the all-too-brief text

from Strange Maps "It is no coincidence that…"

yup, Shorpy again

from Cartogrammar.com, an interesting take on what emerges as lots of people point their cameras ("based on the most recent 2,000 photos uploaded to Flickr that were geotagged within a specified bounding box…")

one I wish I'd taken, from Shorpy Historic Photo Archive

(a lot like Delicious, with a nicer layout and a Preview feature)

"Take our data, mash it up and create great visualisations with it – then post them on here" …and people do

"unsettling" would be where you'll begin with these images

(Juan Cole hasn't forgotten, though)

from The New York Review of Books, and full of thought-provoking observations on the conduct of medical investigation

(you've probably already seen this, but if not…)
