The Weekly Chatter returns (for this week)
A community-supported blog, thank you.
A piece of Gandhi wisdom by Francesca Ramos via ↬ Curiosity Counts
Out of the blue: The Weekly Chatter:
_
- Best headline: “When Cars Are Like Condoms (Or, Why I Love Transit)” (Diamond-Cut Life)
- Made in Detroit! Detroit Bikes (Globe and Mail)
BikeFacey
- Walkability, not just for neighborhoods anymore. Commercial districts and suburbs recognizing the need. (crosscut) Why? It’s in the math (Atlantic Cities)
- Yes, street vendors can sell more than food and be cool (KUHF)
- Celebrating Seattle’s messy streets (Atlantic Streets) Grid Shmid…
The explorers and pioneers who imagined The Grid here were, in short, madmen, or drunks, bless them.
- An app built for a crash (iTunes) App helps you record all the needed information in case of a crash.
- Speaking of crashes, watch out for that right hook! (Post Gazette) …”cars are four times more likely to sideswipe a bicycle while turning than the other way around“
- Chicago streets go skinny for safety (Grid Chicago)
It’s September 21, 2012. Happy Park(ing) Day! (No plans here, you?)

For more steady collection of planning geekdom and related material, hit the MyWHaT Tumblr.
Have a weekend.

Hey – how come you are not on facebook? Easier to share…you know?
MyWHaT is on Facebook, despite finding it an intrusive and mind-numbing experience interacting with FB’s interface. Typically, it is only used to announce the day’s blog post, though occasionally it may be used to share something else. This is primarily in attempt to maintain a certain amount of productivity alive in my other pursuits as well as to not dominate the status feeds of friends of MyWHaT.
As has been said elsewhere, where FB is like inviting someone into your living room and being afraid to ask them to leave, Twitter is like running into someone while walking downtown, the two characters may have a consequential interaction, but there is less expectation to offer them tea. The MyWHaT/Personal Twitter feed is better suited to my needs and the MyWHaT Tumblr is an elegant means to archive items that grab my attention.
That’s too long of an answer, I suppose, but it is an answer. Thanks for asking.
