Where I live: November 2008 Archives

Last week was the first outing of the computer bus, dubbed Bus HOPE by the Parents Council. It was a wonderful success.

My friend, the filmmaker Julie Gustafson, shot video of the workshops for me. I intended to edit the piece this weekend. Procrastination set in. Maybe Wednesday?

The photo above was sent to me by a library friend. It's the Swedish Library Bus of the Year award winner by Peter Thuvander and Martin Hedenstrom of Swedish design group Muungano. Details and more photos.

I've spent the last two years arguing against Tom Schaller's Whistling Past Dixie. I remain grateful for Dean and Obama's 50-state strategy. But the results of the election convincingly show Schaller's diagnosis to be correct. I can still disagree about the cure.
