Article discusses lifestyle changes such as need for denser cities.

Very cool! I'd like to check out the Ahjumawi Lava Springs state park mentioned halfway through this article.

Very cool. I'm checking into whether I can use my existing Rock Band instruments with Guitar Hero: World Tour (think Rock Band rip-off, but adding a song creation mode that I'm not particularly interested in). If I had to buy a whole new set of instruments for an extra $120+ on top of the game cost, I would pass. I don't have the room in my living room for them, nor the desire to spend the money on that. But, it appears that there is inter-operability, so I'll probably pick up GH:WT to get the new songs.

Hopefully my last post on this failed gun ban, but now the city has agreed to pay out $380K to settle lawyers' fees and other plaintiffs' costs related to litigating the ban. I'm not going to re-hash my argument on why I disagreed with the ban.
