City Room: Spokes

Ongoing feature on the NYTimes cityroom blog on cycling in the city.
 

Schott’s Vocab

Contemporary usage blog on the New York Times.
 

Really?

The Times has a column called Really? debunking (or bunking) medical hearsay. Really? Is maybe the best title for anything I've read in a while.
 

Search for the “Confectionary Behemoth”

From the abstract for a story in today's New York Times about the acquisition of Wrigley's by Mars, Inc. Seems like the phrase only occurs in syndication of the story, but is worthy of a surrealist master.
 

The Lemur

First installment of Benjamin Black's/John Banville's serialized fiction in the NY Times Magazine. (There's no good way to navigate between the chapters, sort of stupidly.)
 

The Wild Side

A well-written, interesting, and dare I say it (I do!) sort of nerdorable nytimes blog about biology. Of course, its interesting biology, like how T-Rexs made out (maybe). All my exes are T-Rexes. Google says no one has typed that before.

Lengthy profile of the new(ish) roadsign typeface, Clearview. Good slideshow, too.
