Fantasy Transit Maps

Aaron M. Renn at Urbanophile offers a collection of Fantasy Transit Maps. Here is one artist's (Michael Tyznik) vision of a subway system for Columbus, Ohio:



You can even buy a poster!

Other Fantasy Transit System cities include Cincinnati, St. Louis, and New Orleans.

Don't we all wish our cities had clean and efficient mass transit systems?

Origins Game Fair

This weekend, I am attending the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio. Origins is one of the largets consumer game shows in the country. Dungeons & Dragons, collectible card games, minatures, family games, strategic board games and everything in between will be played, demonstrated, bought and sold. Thousands of gamers, game designers, publishers and distributors will be at the Columbus Convention Center.



If you're looking for me at Origins, most likely you will find me in the "Boardroom", a special section set aside for board games, operated by the Columbus Area Boardgaming Society. If not there, then I'll be with the Train Gamers Association, playing games like Railroad Tycoon and Ticket to Ride.

The Ohio State University - Cannot beat the SEC in a bowl game

The Ohio State University is now 0-9 vs. the SEC in bowl games. For the second year in a row, OSU has lost in the BCS College Football National Championship game.

LSU 38
OSU 24

However, I have a fine map postcard from Columbus:



"The statue of William Oxley Thompson, former president of The Ohio State University, stands in front of the Main Library and looks over the Oval, the academic hub of the campus."
