I like the focus on at least some positive news coming out of the political mess in Greece..
European Union officials have nothing but praise for the mayor of the Greek city of Thessaloniki.

The president’s question touched upon a central conviction at Apple. It isn’t just that workers are cheaper abroad.

I wish we could take a picture out of Holland’s book. The whole country is designed with bikes explicitly in mind. The entire country is connected and accessible by bike with specifically designed safe bike lanes. It’s not just about changing the mindset, it’s also about changing the entire way we think of urban planning as well as our culture into a culture of bikes as the main form of transportation.
