The City Paper recently asked me to take part in their wiki dedicated to improving transportation in the grand city of Pittsburgh. The idea is that if enough people show interest and take action, then our transit systems and pedestrian/bike-friendliness in general will reap the rewards.

This American Life Time

This American Life is a really great radio show, at the same time the quintessential public radio program — slow talking exploration of the human condition through an introspective viewpoint — mixed with everything that most public radio shows get wrong: This American life actually has interesting content.

Humans Designing T-shirts, for Humans

While ordering an iced vanilla latte, skinny please, from my new favorite barista at our local Crazy Mocha, I became involved in a conversation — that’s right, real human interaction using voice boxes and gesticulation and everything — during which she mentioned Design by Humans, a t-shirt company, similar to Threadless, which encourages users to upload designs.
