The whole city is your jewellery box

Two newer things which have no connection other than mentions of Sheffield and self-made architectures. There's a BD column on the perniciousness of Reference and Vernacular; and I also have the Epiphanies page in this month's Wire (ie the one with Chris Watson on the cover) on a subject that will be fairly unsurprising to lots of those reading this. Warning: prose 'overripe' (which reminds me, I am planning to finish this, but not in blog form. More details to ensue, eventually).
