Noby Noby Boy shows the shortest distance between my home and my work

Which are apparently six thousand meters apart. I don't think I've ever seen an iPhone "game" use as much of the platform's functionality as Noby Noby Boy.

All novels should start with maps and floor plans

Fed by Birds is reading old detective novels and particularly enjoying the maps and diagrams that always accompany the text. Why imagine the space in the novel when the author can lay it out for you? (I personally just like that I can flip back to the front of the book whenever I need that visual reminder).

I don't have much to add besides a strong endorsement - if your book deals with space, why not consider mapping it out for us?

Saying goodbye to Da Cake Spott

Ever since Megan and I moved to Flatbush Avenue, this cryptic storefront sat empty across the street. Who built it? What was its purpose?
 As far as I can gather, it was rumored to be a bakery from the owner of 'Snice, but I don't think it was confirmed. The sign went up in 2007, and besides workers visiting from time to time, the place never opened.
Now it looks like a spa is opening there, and the afternoon after I took this photo, those big red letters were gone. So goodbye, Da Cake Spott, your name brought a smile to my face and bafflement to my mind every morning.

Update: Owen Hatherly writes a good critique.
