My wife and I just moved to London, and will be here for at least two years. We are trying to make it feel like home; and there are a
lot of things that can make a place feel like home ... or make it feel like a strange new country. I have
many specific questions, and also welcome general advice pertaining to life in London.

Plato was a bore.
Everything Nietzsche ever wrote is available on
The Nietzsche Channel, in both English and German. They have many other Nietzsche-related resources, including
a quiz. (Geocities, unfortunately.)

I, like many people, have added
Anonymous AskMetaFilter as a
contact, due to his/her interesting, thought-provoking, often sex-related questions and complete self-restraint when it comes to making snarky comments.
However, I noticed a weird phenomenon. On
my contacts page, I see several anonymous questions that link to deleted/nonexistant posts. These do not show up in "Anonymous AskMeFi"'s posting history, and I never saw them on the AskMe page. Did they ever appear on the main page? Is there a reason they are
still visible from my contacts page?

Hobbits found near New Zealand!
A new species of human, only 4 feet tall and dating to only 18,000 years ago, has been discovered in Indonesia. It's important enough that Nature has a
special issue. Even better? The tiny people hunted
tiny elephants. (Journal article
here, for those of you with access.)

What is the very cheapest way to get high-speed internet in the Sunset district of SF? In our place in Montreal we pay 40/month Canadian, and I know there are cheaper plans. Everything I could find in SF is at least 45 USD/month and generally more, unless you have a cable connection. My sis just moved there, has a very low budget and no cable connection. Thoughts?

Browsing at my local library, I just came across a display of the
winners of this year's Canadian
Awards for Excellence in Book Design.
I was blown away by the design and content of
The Gryphons of Paris, a limited edition collection of black-and-white photos of surpassing beauty. This led me to the web page of the photographer,
Ronald Hurwitz, his city vignettes and remarkable portraits. A good reminder that not
everything of value can be found on the internet.
