There are about 40 abandoned stations on the [London] Underground network along its entire 255 miles (408Km) of trackway -- some subsurface and some above ground. Some have vanished without trace whereas others are almost intact, grimy time capsules of the era when they were closed.

Eight great years of DaveNet

Dave (The Dave): Eight years ago on this day [Oct-07] I wrote my first DaveNet essay. It would lead to all the things I do today on the Web, including this weblog, and the CMS in Frontier, Manila, and Radio UserLand. I wrote DaveNet retrospectives in 2001, 1999, 1997 and 1995. Traditional Swedish birthday song: "May you live 100 years... Yes of course he'll live 100 years." [this item]
