OMG castles

japanese ones. very, very cool site, with google maps so one can see the relationship to the landscape; historical info, and pictures.

via metafilter.

i am starting to like metafilter. it doesn't do threading, but it has the bare bones of a sequencer (it shows how many new comments since last time i refreshed, and it can immediately plop me down on the new ones), and i can see all the comments a specific poster has made (something which LJ sorely, sorely lacks). it's still a far cry from usenet, but it doesn't suck quite as much as most weblog software.

I forgot to say, thanks for the link!. The one in Hokkaido (Fort Goryokaku), they mention being based on European fort principles, and I remember Kastellet in Copenhagen being a very similar shape. So strange to see it in Japan.

OOOO! Metafilter sounds like something I very much want. Thanks! You rule!
