LINKS AWAKENING

Some good stuff from the internet:

1. WATCH: How to reduce carbon emissions?

By making cities more dense + sharing infrastructure/objects.

"I would submit to you that all of these things are not only possible, they're being done right now, and that it's a darn good thing. Because right now, our economy by and large operates as Paul Hawken said, "by stealing the future, selling it in the present and call it GDP." And if we have another eight billion or seven billion, or six billion, even, people,living on a planet where their cities also steal the future, we're going to run out of future really fast.But if we think differently, I think that, in fact, we can have cities that are not only zero emissions, but have unlimited possibilities as well."

Also thought this was really cool - really no-nonsense, straight-up resource for web development explained in very simple non-scary terms:

"Are you a print designer, photographer, fine-artist, or general creative person? Do you have a shitty website that you slapped together yourself in Dreamweaver in that ONE web design class that you took in college? Do you not have a site at all because you’ve been waiting two years for your cousin to put it together for you? Well, we’re here to help. We know that you have little to no desire to do web design professionally, but that doesn’t mean that you want an ugly cookie-cutter site or to settle for one that hasn't been updated since Hackers was in theaters."
