Magazine vs Book

According to the oxford dictionary, a book is:
• a set of written, printed, or blank pages fastened along one side and encased between protective covers.

• a printed or written literary work.

A magazine is:
• a periodical containing a collection of articles, stories, pictures, or other features.

Old Skateboards and cool stuff

Anyone doing skating as their article topic? I found this really cool thing some Japanese guy did in Tokyo where he took all his old decks and made them into strange objects. Go here. Very pretty :)

Plymouth's moving up in the world...

Ok, so this may not be entirely 'relevant' to this module (sorry Steven), but I think this is exciting so I thought I'd share it.

The Roland Levinsky building is mentioned in CRblog!! Apparently the Peninsula Arts gallery is showcasing a load of pretty Chopin posters next month, and the Very Important People at CR think it's cool enough to feature in their Extremely Awesome Blog.

What's kind of disappointing for me is the fact I found out about this through a blog that has no direct affiliation with the uni/gallery/event, when I practically live in RL. Why is there such a low level of awareness about events in the arts gallery? CR knows more about things than we (the students!) do.
