“Under its guidance the most muddling twists, turns and corners melt away behind you,” read the advertisement. “It is better than a Human Guide because it is always doing its work to the exclusion of everything else. … The Jones Live-Map emancipates you from slavery to great, flopping maps and profound route-books that you can’t make head or tail of without stopping.”

Feed Update

As I have ceased using Tumblr as my proto-microblog I have shifted its Feedburner RSS over to the microblog on this site.

If you subscribed to my tumblr on Feedburner you will see a reduction in the frequency of posts but hopefully an increase in quality. 👌

The feeds for this site are now Micro, Macro and Both.

There is more information on Subscribing here.

Hope you all have a great New Years.
