“So, are we gonna do Stonehenge again …?”; Kincaid on post-cyberpunk; Policetown …
-
“There is no longer any dispute about where the stones came from, only about how they travelled: Wainwright and Darvill believe they were dragged across land and carried by boat …”
-
“… there is no argument about what post-cyberpunk might be; and no consistent quality, tone, subject matter or approach about these stories that makes us think we can see what links them.”
-
3 – Policetown, UK“Like several of its architectural relatives, this mock conflict training facility is in essence an entire town unto itself designed in true British fashion …” Weird things lurk in the Kentish countryside.

Hey Paul,
Seems like your keeping an eye out for the Stonehenge investigation. I work with the Smithsonian Channel and am responsible for working on some of their online coverage of the dig including an awesome digital restructuring of 5,000 years of Stone Henge in two minutes of the blue stones.
I just wanted to share a couple of links with you of the stuff we are doing just in case you wanted to get some updates.
We have a landing page here with information and daily video updates: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_stonehenge.do
Also, the Executive Producer of the Channel, David Royle, is live blogging from Stonehenge for the next few days. There are blog posts from him and photos and videos at this link, with much more to come : http://community.smithsonianchannelcommunity.com/droyle
I hope you check it out and let me know if you enjoy the video updates!
