  • Graffiti lane gets new canvas for Melbourne artists - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "That really is the lane where our next generation of artists will learn their craft and learn the culture of street art and the respect that goes with it," [the mayor] said.

  • The Best Map Ever Made of America's Racial Segregation | Wired Design | Wired.com: The map, created by Dustin Cable at University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, is stunningly comprehensive.

Sustaining the game’s life.
