Unsafe is Safe: European Cities Do Away with Traffic Signs
Some towns in Europe are taking the bold move of removing all street signs in order to foster personal responsibility and increase courteousness while driving.
What's more, the glut of prohibitions is tantamount to treating the driver like a child and it also foments resentment. He may stop in front of the crosswalk, but that only makes him feel justified in preventing pedestrians from crossing the street on every other occasion.
I doubt the US could follow due to our tort laws and income generated from parking tickets/ traffic violations.

Where have I been?
We went to London a few weeks back to visit my S-i-L. It was great: we rode the London Eye, took a tour on the Thames, saw a museum exhibit on video games, and ate my new favorite food the Cornish Pasty.
Unfortunately, when I got back I found out that half of my co-workers had been laid off and I have been in a rush to get everything done here and at school.
Wii Pre-order, um, Madness?
This store in Towson, MD said they had 14 Wiis for pre-order. Yes, there’s one dude there (lower right corner). That must be his car because at 8AM on Oct 13, 2006, he was the only one in the shopping center. Did I mention it was 41 F out?

Contest to design a better Pratt St corridor
One downside to living in Baltimore is the lack of a shopping “district” for normal day-today things like clothes, electronics…just stuff. We always find ourselves driving to either White Marsh or some other suburb which kind of defeats living in a city. Hopefully, one of the new proposals that will enter the contest to redesign Pratt St will include a shopping area that is nice enough for a tourist area but not so upscale no one really shops there…it should be a functional part of the city.
