Wonderful Things

Pettah photo by Tashiya


Mahangu is launching a local BoingBoing of sorts, a collection of wonderful things. The site is called LataPata and it should enable you to double the time you’re wasting at work. There are a couple authors (including myself) submitting links to random, interesting things around the web. My submissions so far include a link to MC Hammer’s blog, mathematicians in sarongs and the Pakistani blog shutdown. I spend a lot of time on Slate, Metafilter and Digg, so there’s no shortage of random links. Everyone else has their own sources, so there should be frequent updates of local and international junk.

That’s all. Go there. I’m sure the site can use feedback as well.

Looks great.
on the down side ,there is the possiblity of latapata flooding kottu,replacing original contents from the first page.

good point chandre. i had to click down to kottu page 3 to see the entry for this post (posted less than 24 hrs ago) and it was on 1st page when i posted my commet above.

don’t take this the wrong way but talking about metasites do we need posts about posts in slashdot (of all places!) about articles in other sites? :-)
anyway i love kottu and you have done a great job so it’s your call. i for one will always click down.

This looks a little like the garage sale my parents had at their house last summer.

N: You have to eat a whole load of beans…the n you can be gassy like Omr.

the way of the dodo: nonsense, 100g of spinach has 2.2g of protien 100g of beans will give you 10gs of protien. you need 70gs a day. fish or chicken generally has around 35g of protein per 100g. http://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/S pinach#Nutritio n...

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.
