sig, 2.0

once upon a time, a signature file was thought to be limited to 4 lines - "bandwidth conservation society". recently, i ran across a signature file that contained a gazillion links to the author ... not including the email link. a friend's tweet about not wanting to be considered "1 dimenional" reminded me - we're all hyper dimensional beings in the 2.0 world !

Urban Bikes

(Image from http://www.streetsblog.org/)

Ran in to a graduate student from Cal the other day and got to talking about bicycles and smart cities ... which reminded me of the bicycle videos from Utrecht (Netherlands).

How did all of this come about? YouTube gave a short glimpse into the thinking and planning that went into this change.

MPs and Lords from the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group visited the Netherlands in April 2009 with officials from British cycling organisations.
