I noticed a small white car with Google branding and a massive collection of cameras on it’s roof driving in front of a bus I was on the other week. It seems Google are photographing the whole world with fish eye cameras to enable you to bring up images of streets within Google maps. You’ll notice the street view button if you’re viewing a map where the system has been enabled. So far they’ve got big chunks of Australia, France, Japan and the USA online — and obviously the UK is on it’s way. It’s been very time consuming visiting familiar places in Australia, America and Japan — be warned! There are some bugs with the path finder, sometimes I ended up going through buildings, and the images are quite low in resolution too. I imagine it’s all still quite beta at the moment though.

My name is Anthony and I like to collect typographic tshirts, I own about six and I’m always hovering over that little ‘add to cart’ button to add to my collection. I think it started when I bought a tshirt from a designer I met in Melbourne who devotes his professional life to protesting the use of Helvetica. Now I just like the nod of acknowledgment I get as I walk down the street and someone ‘gets’ what my tshirt is about. So I’m going to help you get in to this secret society by revealing some of my sources and featuring images of my favourite tshirts (many of which I own).
