Planning a trip or just interested in transit systems? Check out this online reference or if you prefer a book try Metro Maps of the World¹.
Oh, and as long as we are doing transit systems try out your subway driving skills with Catch the Tube curtesy of The Presurfer.
¹If you want the book hop over to Parsec Project and click through to Amazon.co.uk from the link there as that is where I found the reference.

Homeland Insecurity II

A few days ago I linked to a story by a student in Seattle who ran afoul of what appears to be some overzealous law enforcement folks.
Via Pacific Views I see that there are some legs on the story. From the Seattle Times:

On Monday night, the volume of Internet traffic to Ian Spiers’ Web site � www.brownequalsterrorist.com � crashed his server. Strangers from Chicago and New Zealand offered him space on their servers to get his story back online.

There is more at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
