Commented on Pneumatic tube-based postal systems of the late 19th century
AGuyCalledRune–I went on a tour of the rohrpost building a few months ago. It wasn't as large as I had hoped (there are just a few rooms), but the tour guide was a passionate and quite eccentric character. Unfortunately my...
Commented on Homeless people disguised as stranded tourists sleep on Heathrow's benches

Allowing any site (Amazon, LibraryThing, BookArmy, etc.) to pull in Creative-Commons-licensed reviews based on ISBN. @NOLLY I think you missed the point. It's not about features. It's about open data....

I personally really like Goodreads, which somebody else mentioned above me. You can search for authors you like and the system will recommend you other books.

Plus, it's great for making library lists and keeping track of which series I've read or where in a series I stopped. You can arrange your books into shelves with tags and assign a status like to-read or read. It's a godsend for people like me who can read five or six books a...
