Panoramic Churches 

London-based photographer Peter Li uses panoramic photography to capture the entirety of the ceiling and supporting columns, of churches around the world. Li allows the viewer to get the chance to feel what it is like to stand at the center of these grand buildings.

From Living With Music: A Playlist by Daniel Handler (August 2007, NYTimes), where Mr. Snicket’s representative indulges in selecting 21 songs and embellishing each choice with a personal commentary:

I Could Have Danced All Night, Sun Ra. I had trouble choosing a Sun Ra song, because I own so many Sun Ra albums and they’re all delightful, but this loopy take on a Lerner and Loewe from “Sound Sun Pleasure” won out over the cough-syrup rabble funk of “Mu” from “Atlantis.” It is one of the great regrets of my life that I didn’t go with my friend Jason to see Sun Ra open for Sonic Youth in Central Park. The supernaturally sensational Mr. Ra died not too long after and I never got to see him perform, and I take no joy from that English paper that I finished on time.

to remember how many feet there are in a mile, u just gotta use 5 tomatoes

five to-mate-oes sounds like five, two, eight, 0 and there’s 5280 feet in a mile

To remember how many meters there are in a kilometre you just remember “1000” because the system of measurement in the rest of the world wasn’t invented by a drunk mathematician rolling dice.
