"The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it."
Night,Chapter 3, pg. 34 by Eli Wiesel

"If there is no love in the world,
we will make a new world,
and we will give it walls,
and we will furnish it with soft, red interiors,
from the inside out,
and give it a knocker that resonates
like a diamond falling to a jeweller's felt
so that we should never hear it.
Love me, because love doesn't exist,
and I have tried everything that does."


-- Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything is Illuminated: A Novel)

Ever wonder what is inside that dark tunnel or deserted structure you pass on your way to work every day? There are a vast number of spooky and surreal abandoned buildings that populate even the densest countries, states and cities. Organized into helpful categories here are thirty must-bookmark resources for would-be urban explorers around the world. In addition to those listed below (right-click on the screenshots to jump), sites like DarkRoastedBlend and LookAtThis have entire categories dedicated to abandoned places and vehicles also worth exploring.

Our nada who art in nada,
nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada
in nada as it is in nada.
Give us this nada our daily nada
and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas
and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada;
pues nada [then nothing].
Hail nothing full of nothing,
nothing is with thee.


A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, Ernest Hemingway

Ground Report
May 14, 9:46pm    (2 reviews)  internet  http://www.groundreport.com/
Is it alright to like a page where I am one of the reporters? Just for today, while I am still on the popular list, blush:) the ratings will change any minute.

GroundReport started as a side project for Rachel Sterne of New York (now my boss?) after reporting on the United Nations Security Council on events taking place in Darfur. Sterne, who worked for LimeWire at the time, was concerned and agitated by the lack of public awareness about these events. About one year ago GroundReport, a network of over 1,000 citizen journalists from around the world, went from being a side project to Sterne's full time job.

Main Goal: To democratize the news in three ways: First, GroundReport allows everyone to participate by posting articles, videos or livestreaming content. Second, the community decides what is on the front page through voting - there is no editorial control. Third, GroundReport shares revenue with all contributors based on traffic to their stories.

Notable Achievements: GroundReport has 1,000 different contributors from all over the world including Zimbabwe, Mali and Pakistan. Using various tools, GroundReport has media offerings comparable to a large news outlet. GroundReport has its own television channel and will soon be launching GroundReport radio. GR Television allows listeners to become deeply involved in the programming and reporting of content for specific time slots.
