In a sweeping format change that marks the end of an era for the nation’s first cable news outlet, CNN announced today that it would no longer air breaking news and would instead re-run news stories of the past “that we know we got right.”

The rebranded network, to début nationwide on Monday, will be called “CNN Classic.”

The simplicity of design delights me, the quality of writing interests me. I really have come to love Medium.
At first, I didn’t understand it. Then I forgot about it. Eventually, links to it began propping up everywhere. I followed a few, and found myself returning. Often.
..because of writing like this, or this, or this, or this, or .. you get the idea.
There’s a lot about the medium (heh get it?) I don’t understand yet. And a lot more I would change. 
But, I really do think they’re onto something here and glad to be a part of it all.
This is me.

Just so you know, I am new to this economy too. 

It really is also quite demoralising to be broke in yet another currency - more so, with this being virtual.

I have my accounts setup and little miners getting ready to go to work though.

Tokyo Arteria A 3D Model of Tokyo’s Underground Metro System

Tokyo’s subway system is arguably one of the most complex in the world. The map itself can be an immediate turn-off for any unfamiliarized straphangar.

But exactly how do all these lines run underground, overlapping as they carry hundreds of thousands of passengers each day?

Tokyo University graduate student Takatsugu Kuriyama decided to answer that question be recreating an accurate three-dimensional model of Tokyo’s lifeline by using multi-colored tubes strung with wire.

Different color liquids pulsate throughout all 18 lines, creating a staggering picture of what goes on below the streets of Tokyo every day.
