It’s an instant-classic Thursday Pressing Concerns! We have new albums from Upper Wilds, Graham Hunt, and John Vanderslice, plus an archival compilation from Velocity Girl. They’re all coming out tomorrow (August 28th)! Check them out...
It’s old-car-pallooza on Down the Road this August, as I’ve been shooting film at car shows a lot lately. This time I took my Nikon N90s and my shockingly good 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-D Nikkor lens up to little Kirklin for its annual car...

On Monday I reviewed two animated maps that simulate one day's worth of train travel in countries across the world. Both of these simulations used conventional geographic maps, with the trains shown in their real-world geographical...
A lovely warm sunny day. Asked Doc about Charlie’s flat. I hope I can get it. Car washing. H.T.B1.G.Doc making 105 to date. Not much in to burn. Young Martin out of lab left.
It is generally accepted that GURPS Vehicles, the vehicle design supplement for the third edition of that game, is not something anyone would use at the table; I'd agree with that. But it did form the surprising basis of a campaign I ran...
My 20th and final book for the 20 Books of Summer challenge is the winner of this year’s Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, Alice Jolly’s The Matchbox Girl. I wasn’t sure about reading this book as I’d heard that it was written...
