Love this site E.gg Timer.
Just go to e.ggtimer.com/5min, replacing 5min with the amount of time you’d like it to count down from.

There’s something simple and nice about this site, faub.org — you click and drag the content around and although it’s more kinetically demanding than scrolling it’s a refreshing departure from the monotonous mechanics of the scroll wheel.

The Dakota circa 1890.
What strikes me most about this picture is how much urban development happened in the subsequent 60 years or so. By the 1950s, New York as we know it was starting to take shape. In this picture, the UWS looks downright desolate.
My building was built around 1880 or 1890 - so it’s somewhere about 20 blocks north of this.
