I just received a big box o' goodies from Bob at Aquilonia Comics (Troy, NY). It's been well over a year since I've stopped in to pick up my file, so I've got lots of reading material: 1602, Hellblazer, Planetary, and more. I needed to send a check, but didn't have the shop's address handy. When I Googled to try and find the (now apparently defunct) wizvax.net Aquilonia website, I accidentally stumbled across a web meme that I somehow missed: 10 Places of My City.
10 Places of My City apparently started out as a "Chinese blogger social movement, using [the] Technorati tag system to encourage bloggers to showcase the top 10 places of their own city." Lots of other folks have hopped on (Dallas, London, Toronto), and this morning I found Dan Nugent's entries for Troy, NY. (Aquilonia Comics clocks in at #1.)
I'm inspired. I have to charge up the batteries for the digital camera, and head out into town to take a few photos. Cataloging 10 interesting places in Maynard sounds like a fun project, and I'll post the pix to a Flickr photoset in the near future.

Words of Wisdom:
"Kill skuls"
"Don't jerk hack"
"In your base, killin' all your doodz"
Those are all City of Heroes references. Scarier, all CoH message board references.
