Broken Chains
(GhostBikes.org)
December 13th, 2012
I would rather that Ghost Bikes the website didn’t exist. It’s not that I have anything against the page; it’s well-written and comprehensive. But it wouldn’t be here if not for the existence of ghost bikes, white-painted bicycles placed on city streets near where cyclists have been struck and killed. Read more »

Truthfully, you should stop reading this right now and go see Amy Lee Finchem at COLAB at Art Square. She can explain the importance of architecture and landscape architecture better than I ever could. Read more »

Sounds Like Theme Spirit

October 25th, 2012
Look, you’re just going to have to accept that for as long as I’m doing this column, you’re going to get a Disneyland website every so often. I love the place the same way you love nightclubs, minus the Rohypnol. Read more »

Folder, Manipulated

October 18th, 2012
Before many of you were born, there were two decades called the 1970s and the 1980s. These were dark times for teenagers, when phones were anchored to the wall, term papers couldn’t be cribbed from the Web and what passed for sexting had to be conducted through regular mail. Read more »

I appreciate you taking time away from your Facebook feed to read these words. Trust me, if I could, I’d be there myself right now—continually refreshing the page, looking for those reposted George Takei articles that give meaning to my daily life. Read more »
