- "Police are trying to locate the owner of a 300-year-old ledger, bound in human skin, found in a Leeds road." In the 18th & 19th Century, apparently accounts of some murder trials were bound in the skin of the perpetrators. Extraordinary.
- Yahoo's new improved beta version of Maps is pretty damn nice This version now covers more than North American (albeit in pretty skimpy detail) and has integrated in satellite and hybrid views. The way the satellite views are being stitched and processed is particularly good...

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
I'm loving Yahoo! Maps' smooth zoom and the draggable area-thumbnail. It knocks Google's offering into a cocked hat (and I was impressed with Google Maps!). Even the satellite imagery seems less patchy.
