Oh April, the cruellest month and all that. Well TS Eliot clearly didn’t know the joys of sunshine, blue skies and wearing far too few clothes in temperatures only just in double figures. On the other hand, TS Eliot did know a thing or two about writing. Take the opening passage of the mighty Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock for example:
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets
So without further ado, let us go then, you and I, as Digirank lead you through those unchartered paths of Internet linkage to discover rare places of beauty, wonder and supreme cuteness. Digi Digs is here to alleviate the oppressive weight of modern life and endless fruitless internet surfing and deliver you the best of the web in one convenient place.
Rare Photos of Famous People
http://www.nedhardy.com/2013/09/17/rare-photos-of-famous-people-29-pics/
We get so used to seeing the same old types of pictures of famous people that we become numb to their characters. These lesser known pictures display a different side of well known people.
Drunk Or Kid?
http://www.reddit.com/r/drunkorakid
Probably the best subreddit we’ve ever seen, although believe us, that’s really not saying that much.
Urban Slide

Partial to a box set binge? If so, chances are you will have clocked up a fair few hours (or days) of screen time. If you’re feeling brave, tiii.me lets you calculate exactly how much of your life is lost forever. (The Sopranos alone is over 3 and a half days.. gulp.)

Fukushima 3 years on
http://www.fastcoexist.com/3028872/world-changing-ideas/incredible-photos-of-fukushimas-abandoned-post-apocalyptic-landscape-ta#1
3 years after the earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan, a humanitarian drone group has teamed up with the University of Tokyo to capture images of the clean-up process. As the area is still highly toxic, this has made getting images extremely difficult, so the researchers sent in unmanned vehicles to three towns around the reactors.

Kafka’s Jokebook
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/kafkas-joke-book
Yep, this is pretty high-brow for us. But John McNamee’s perfectly constructed Kafka-centric whimsy is just too good not to share. Here’s an example…
“Knock knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Knock knock.”
“Who’s there?” Alois asked again, more insistently.
“Knock knock.”
And so it went for years. It wasn’t until his deathbed Alois realized he was on the outside of the door.
One Year in 40 Seconds
As simple as it gets with regards to time-lapse and the passing of seasons. Shows what a dramatic change takes place and how little we notice in our day-to-day lives.

We do not wish to glamourise violence and crime in any way but it seemed police in the 1920s did – these mugshots of criminals look pretty damn cool.
