el 2008.12.02Today San Francisco?s Board of Supervisors is meeting to review plans that would combat congested roadways by instituting the United States? first traffic toll. A congestion pricing plan would most likely create a charge for motorists entering the city via the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate Bridge, encouraging the use of environmentally-friendly modes of transportation. Although the initiative comes at a turbulent economic time, the plan stands to get people out of their cars and empower San Francisco?s...

el 2008.11.02I was pleased to hear from Jason Dixon, who told me that he is organizing DC BSDCon 2009 on 4 and 5 February 2009 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park. This is right before ShmooCon 2009 and has been coordinated with that group. DC BSDCon has a call for papers open until 1 December, with selections announced on 15 December. I will probably submit a presentation. I will not attend ShmooCon this year. I've decided the logistics are too much of a hassle. There's a few talks on Friday evening, a...

el 2008.10.03Somehow I got the following letter sent by congressman Peter DeFazio on September 28th, 2008 when someone asked him about the 700 billion bailout, enjoy! ------------------------------ Dear Mr. XYZ: Thank you for contacting me about the Bush Administration bailout. I am vehemently opposed to this bailout. I was the first Member of Congress to take to the House floor and stand up in opposition to this $700 billion bailout.

el 2008.02.22[Jason Woods explains walking in Lima]Public transportation in Lima is ......different.First, we have walking. Crossing the street in the brief momentthat traffic is stopped by a taxi picking upa customer in the middle of a junctionWalking is my favorite form of transportation in Lima and I do it just about every day without fail. The biggest downfall of walking is that, well, if you walk in Lima, you will eventually have to cross the street. And cars drive in the street. I've heard that in Lima, six...
el 2008.01.25No, I'm not a communist. The colours of these buses are different because they are not managed by the government or a single private entity. The drivers and the cobradores* depend on the amount of people they have on their bus to earn a decent wage, so they slow down or accelerate, the amount of people they have. It is not safe, and I have at least two sources that confirm this (my clumsy but lovely mother and a cousin). I always have my complains about this. How it makes Lima feel dirty, disorganized,...

This is another organic illustration. It started with the boy and a ball. Then came a wall, and behind that, chaos unravelled. It was supposed to be half of its size. If you notice, in the middle, there is a line that seems like a folding line. The picture was in the middle of a book. This is my sketchbook, and I did the drawing during my T rides (public transportation). There is a recurrence in the buildings subject. I'm going to post some more pictures that have similar drawings of bending and chaotic...

Your Real ID, Please by Nicole Klaas in MetrolandActivists urge Gov. Spitzer to oppose an unfunded national-ID law In the future, millions of Americans may have to present their passport in order to hop a cross-country flight. The idea may sound strange, but within a few years, it could be a reality for residents of states such as Idaho and Maine, where legislators have voted to oppose a federal personal- identification act that was intended as an antiterrorism measure but is described as an unfunded...

INTENSE. That?s exactly how I speak it up! It has been so different from any other experience and of course it was fun to discover myself in this town and in a new apartment, with 2 new roommates, dinning with people I haven?t seen or talked in my life but, that so far have become my family here. It?s a very cool opportunity to socialize and know different, smart, funny, pervert and sweet people. What am I doing here? I am a ?Becaria? which means I was selected from a national contest to be a...

The rear view of a Congolese Cab As a result of the general lack of infrastructure here there are no mailboxes or clearly marked cabs. Don't be fooled, however, Kinshasa has a massive, functioning transportation system in place. "Taxis" are usually the exact cars you would pick out as being un-driveable. They are often missing bumpers, head/rear lights, windows and/or doors. They inevitably ride low because they are packed full with people including those hanging onto the roof and sitting where windows...
el 2006.07.01Al parecer, el problema de la divergencia entre el bienestar macroeconómico y el malestar microeconómico no es exclusivo del Perú. Sandra Pianalto, Presidenta del Banco de la Reserva Federal de Cleveland, acaba de manifestar que la creciente prosperidad de los Estados Unidos ha fallado en erradicar la pobreza de sus ciudadanos menos entrenados. Por lo tanto, sugiere, la mejor manera de cerrar esta brecha de riqueza es a través de la educación. Habrá alguien entre nuestros especialistas de la pobreza que...

It was a test flight, after all, and the first time that NASA had launched a crew into space without first conducting an unmanned mission. The now-familiar design -- an airplane-like orbiter standing...
