An old friend

Here's a neat website I had forgotten existed. A bunch of colleagues and I used to have all our office computers set to this as a home page. Then I moved and changed jobs, and didn't have computer access for a long time, and lo, I forgot.

The Hunger Site.

You click, they give money. That easy. And you can probably get some good fair trade holiday shopping done there, besides.

Bicycles in Paris

This is so cool. Could it happen in a major city here? Seattle? Boston? Bueller?

Basically, the company that does bus stop shelters and the accompanying ads, as well as public toilets in Paris has just launched a community bike program. Yes, the bikes have ads all over them. But, now Paris has "20,000 heavy-duty bicycles in 750 or so special racks around the city and anyone who wants one simply swipes his or her ordinary travel card and pedals off wherever they want to go."

This was something that would never have happened with government funds, even in the land of lefty subsidies.

Vive la France!
