Spotted on a sticker stuck to the front of Time Out towers this morning was a URL written in a Time Out font: YourTimeIsUp.co.uk [whois]. If you go to the address, you see the logo again – written in almost exactly the same style as the adverts that were circulated for the timeout.com/shopping site.

Megnut.com closes its doors. And lurking in the source code is this brief comment: “I just don’t have anything good to say anymore. So I’m not going to say anything at all.”

In the same week that NASA says that it is no longer in the business of dreaming, I stumble upon the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program site – which includes a wonderful section called: “Warp Drive: When?”. Have faith in the future.
