115,000 households packed up and moved on Tuesday, making it quite possibly the single largest instance of a mass moving day in North America. Even on normal days there’s a lot of junk left out in Montreal streets and alleys, but nothing compares to the days following July 1st, when thousands of people get rid of surplus or unwanted furniture by simply leaving it for someone else to take. …

Photo du jour: Public art
http://spacingmontreal.ca/2008/07/03/photo-du-jour-public-art/As usual, Jeanne Mance Street is closed for the jazz fest, but this year the parking lot on its west side has been replaced by a large construction site for a forthcoming plaza. In the meantime, a portion of the construction hoarding has been turned into a free-for-all mural. June 26, 2008…

Wax Scrawls: Novels, Mystery Shoes and the Google Burger
http://scrawledinwax.com/2008/07/03/wax-scrawls-novels-myste...With a title like that, you can guess a lot about its tone and the sort of reverence it has for the novel, but the article does a good job at gleaning some interesting stuff. Spacing Montreal ask why you always see shoes on power lines. There answer is charmingly ambiguous and the same as mine: they have no idea. This site aims to catalogue the opening sequences of movies and TV shows on DVD. Neat. And finally, NY Mag have a great write-up on Nas

Comme les Chinois

Here are some of the many pictures that I took on the subway, perhaps the only moment of daily rest (the distance between stations is so long in Beijing) that I

This was not the first time she has seen shoes dangling from power lines in the city. In her post, Shoes in the Sky, Julie looks for an answer to the age-old question, what are those shoes doing up there? • Since the beginning of the year Spacing Montréal has posted a series of articles (1/2/3) on the proposed summertime pedestrianization of Montréal

killing denouement
http://killingdenouement.wordpress.comre busy buttressing up the telecoms anyway, some more cctv related stuffs, including a Manchester band that filmed a video entirely on CCTV, for want of cash. Is this what post-lofi looks like? In Montreal, even the fashion police are in on the act, using it both to track suspected criminals and, ridiculously, monitor the brand spreading of corporate logos. I wonder if it would make people start dressing more consciously - a kind of Hearst/ Condé Nast elevator effect? Hopefully
