My cousin Carl sent me another way cool link – a map of Springfield, USA. You know, where the Simpsons live.
I love that the map can never truly be accurate because the landscape changes from episode to episode…

Boxy Jewels
I’m such an artist wanna-be. I’m desperate to find something, anything, which would justify buying “these jewel cases”:http://www.jewelboxing.com/. Of all the times I needed a band!
Linkies: Carfree Cities
As a guy who spends 3 hours a day schlepping to work and back, I’m interested in anything that makes transit faster or more convenient. According to J.H. Crawford’s wonderful book “Carfree Cities”:http://www.carfree.com/book/, designing cities around people instead of cars doesn’t just reduce the time we spend getting from point A to point B, it improves quality of life.

Like the book, the site is a great mix of human-scale observations and engineering ideas. Crawford has a way of blending photos, designs, and description to make it compelling reading. Be sure to check out the photo tour of Venice at the very least.

If I were to be buried, “Capsula Mundi”:http://capsulamundi.com/ would be my choice of venue. Hopefully it will be commonplace in a hundred years.
Does this remind anyone else of the “Piggies”:http://www.hatrack.com/osc/books/speaker.shtml?
