This is the view from the top step of my workplace, 501 Boylston. (Usually there aren't headless people walking around though.)
I put it together with a great free iPhone app from Microsoft... photosynth. It's a bit like some other panoramic apps I've shown here but it makes these interactive pieces that angle and stitch the separate views in real time, so you don't get the fish-eye effect of just mapping the whole thing onto a flat surface.
The other interesting thing about the app is how it's in Microsoft's "authentically digital" Metro style, as seen on the new Windows Phones - it gets rid of the chrome, random shading and softening and 3Ding that most software has these days. I think I digit it but I'm not sure.

the secret life of libraries - nice piece on the institution.

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.
