I need some inconsistency

An amalgamation of content: the aim not to politicise, but exercise. I'll think aloud about politics, technology, current news, as well as being a gay boy and what that really entails.

The Tube - plus walking jumps

OR as they're otherwise known, walklines.
Rodcorp has modified the traditional London Tube Map to include some links between stations that are relatively close together physically. The Tube map is famous for getting across a huge amount of information in a tiny space, allowing us to see the connections between stations clearly and concisely. However the tube map also hugely distorts the physical relationships of stations meaning that you might cross from one line to the other and ride several stops in another direction only to find that you're a few hundred metres from your first departure station. Stations can be close without you knowing it from the map. To remedy this Rod McLaren has altered the tube map slightly to include "walklines" - links between stations located less than 500metres away from one another. Cool idea.
