I discovered Connections in Space, a site that uses the London Underground map as a navigational metaphor. It's an intriguing example of how familiar urban mapping can be applied to digital information architecture and user interfaces.
I found that Suelette Dreyfus’ book Underground is available online. It's a classic account of the international computer underground and hacking scene, offering a deep dive into the history of digital security and early phreaking.
I found a visualization comparing the iconic London Underground schematic to a geographically accurate version. It’s a great way to see how the traditional map distorts actual distances and station locations for better readability.
I’ve stopped providing regular updates for my London travel series due to time constraints. This post serves as the final entry for the collection, concluding my digital record of the London 2000 trip.
I visited the Tower of London for a Yeoman Guard tour and explored the British Museum, which is vast and free. I also clarified the common confusion between Tower Bridge and London Bridge while window shopping on Oxford Street.
I’ve registered for the upcoming London Geek Dinner on July 11th. These gatherings serve as informal networking events for the local technology community, focusing on collaborative exchange and marketing topics within the London tech scene.
