Long-term readers will know my appreciation of the game of Poohsticks; for complicated reasons I was doing a search on the topic, and encountered an incredible 360-degree QuickTime panorama of the “real” bridge, which especially if you have a Apple MightyMouse makes an extraordinary browsing experience.

Happy, and more unhinged, days…
