As the current music download scene surely testifies, there's almost nothing blokes like better than making lists of their favourite albums. Pitchfork Media has been doing that for about five years, with several advantages: you get nice little reviews and cover art, and you don't actually have to listen to any of them. Pitchfork's list of the top 100 for the 1970s is as odd as expected, given the widely different tastes of the people who picked them.

WordCount is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words,
ranked in order of commonality. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow
it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon
it is.

American Segue is an expedition across America on a Segway, the transportation device that looks like a cross between a scooter
and a skateboard. Spinning Blue, the internet marketing company behind the attempt to travel across the US at a leisurely 10mph,
is planning to create "an ongoing online documentary". The clips featuring characters met along the route will be compiled in blog
form. Until the Segway sets off on August 5, you can sign up for email updates, or wait until the blog has been launched and sign
up for the RSS syndication feed.
