Save yourselves.
Marine biologist in North Carolina, USA, Andrew David Thale has written a dystopian maritime science fiction serial adventure, called Fleet in which sea levels have risen by 80 metres.
In tandem with this he’s created images of what cities across the world would look like under 80 metres of water, like Dublin, above.
Here are a few more.

The chaps up on Capitol Hill,
Have worked out a debt-ceiling bill,
Though the right did their best,
When put to the test,
They couldn’t move in for the kill.

We’ve featured Tapadoo’s original version of this app before but their new iOS 7 only version is worthy of a post of its own.
Completely redesigned, it raises the bar for transport apps both is terms of looks and ease of use. It takes a minimal amount of taps to set up your stops and once that’s done you’ll get all the information you need at a glance.
It certainly beats the pants off the official offerings.
They’ve even included a few easter eggs for you to discover but they’re not saying where they are.
My Dublin Bus 2 is available on iTunes for €1.79 right now.
We’ve been given 10 free copies to give away:

Architect Zaha Hadid (you’ll recall her floating office block in Dubai) has partnered with Hamburg luxury shipbuilders Blohm + Voss to create a ‘family’ of five 90m sinuous, ocean going, customisable yachts based on a 128m exoskeletal concept prototype (top two pix).
It’s called ‘project jazz’.
Nice.
