Something is badly wrong there. I'm in China and quite a few things
load slowly, either because it is across the Pacific or because the
Great Firewall interferes. That site is a bit slow for me, but quite
usable. The whole thing loads in a minute or two.


yes, i'd say two things are badly wrong ...

i truly loathe pages that load in a minute or two -- that is simply 
awful site design when there are simple alternatives ...


but the showstopper at the moment is that Qwest has been busy since 
August installing upgraded service in my area, a process that has 
shattered 10 years of stable DSL into periods when the line quality is 
so bad that not only is it extremely slow, but there are so many 
transmission errors and modem retrains that i can't even get such giant 
pages to completely load at all

It was readable here in just a few seconds, but took longer than a 
minute or two for the whole thing to load.

I recognize one of the locations. Three yellow ventilation pipes. It's 
at one of the colleges I didn't manage to graduate from.


Didn't have the painting on it last time I was there. I'll have to check 
it out.

It loaded slowly on my cable link, but it came up. The street art is great, but 
IMO, photos of great street art aren't great photos. They're somewhat akin to a 
xerox copy of a great photo or other work of art. They're just copies.

Well, Paul, I don't think anyone doubts that.  Unfortunately, I wasn't
able to send you all those streets and buildings, so I was limited to
sending you images of photographs of the original art works.  G

Not that it'll resolve anyone's DSL problems, but I just downloaded Firefox 4 
today, and it is a LOT faster.

Back to the topic, thanks for forwarding this, Daniel. As others have said, a 
lot of amazing stuff, and some poignant ones, too.

Point taken. And it's great street art.

Something is badly wrong there. I'm in China and quite a few things
load slowly, either because it is across the Pacific or because the
