✦ There's plenty to intrigue and keep you looking at The Agrippa Files, a fascinating online archive of Agrippa (a book of the dead), a collaboration between artist Dennis Ashbaugh, writer William Gibson, and publisher Kevin Begos, Jr. (My thanks to the Book Bench blog for the mention that sent me in search.) The site, created by the Transcriptions Project at University of California/Santa Barbara, offers the original text of Gibson's "Agrippa" poem, selected pages from the original art book published in 1992, scholarly essays and interviews, and much more.

✦ The seven-and-one-half years it has taken to erect One World Trade Center (a.k.a. "The Freedom Tower") are compressed into 1:52 minutes in this EarthCam time-lapse video. The images of deep historic significance come from four cameras that snapped pictures every 15 minutes. With 104 floors, One WTC now stands as the tallest skyscraper (1,368 feet) in New York City.
