A Garden Of Earthly Delights Wiki
It has been hell trying to devise a way to keep track of well over a hundred-thousand links I’ve collected over the years, but it looks like thanks to our friends at Yada Wiki, it seems we’ve got this down. Click here to give it a look, and give any advice on making it better.
[Technical] Topics Section Added
Today, I decided to add a Topics section to the website. We have listed Film, Literature, Music and Typography sections, mainly blogs, so far.

via Jean Derome ~ Résistances — a closer listen
A Closer Listen has become my go-to blog for discovbering new post-rock music. If you are on WordPress, consider subscribing to it. I am rarely disappointed by what they post.
[Technology] A Garden Of Earthly Delights – Encyclopedia
We’ve been trying for some years to find a suitable wiki program which would blend nicely into WordPress, and as of today, it looks like we found one.

Thanks to The Wire Magazine, who originally shared this post.
[Technology] 9 Rare Works Of Art Internet Pirates Are Obsessed With
Stephen Witt of Buzzfeed contributes an article of 9 masterpieces, including this Godspeed You! Black Emperor (alleged) rarity and the Norman Thomas di Giovanni translations (shamefully not made public) of Jorge Luis Borges’ work. His translations are superior to all over English versions.
