The Symbol of London under London

Unlike most Londoners I have always loved The Tube, especially the fancy new Jubilee Line which is the only line that connects with all other lines. The Jubilee went into service just in time for the hotly contested Millenium Dome that had fancy urinals [ the ladies room wasn't nearly as interesting ] in addition to a few interesting exhibits. I also have a collection of old underground maps and use the P22 Foundry's Johnston Underground as my default system font. So, I was fairly excited to see a new book released on the history of the Underground, Underground to Everywhere, since most of the previous books on the subject have either disappointed or have gone out of print. The recently published London: The Biography is a delightfully different vignette style history of London that has a few tales about the Underground as well.

And the word of the day is Pinacotheca \Pin`a*co*the"ca\, n. A picture gallery. I asked the guy who has the nice PHP D30 photo album if his code was public since I've just not found anything that I really like as much as his simple and elegant solution...and he is, apparently, going to release it in another week or so. Yes, I'm embracing the dark side but at least I'll have a stylin' photo album :)
