Incompatible Infill
Interesting Discussion at Atlanta Metroblog
The only thing I don't get-from one of the commenters-is why families would need such large (6000sf+) houses and bans on infill would prevent them from moving into town. Most families today are 1-2 parents and 1-3 kids. I just don't see why each family member would need their own personal thousand+ square feet. So they never have to see eachother?

Mwahahaha....
Misc.
I really like stuff like this. It kind of goes along with my obsession with stuff like this. I have no idea why. Thanks, Boy in the Bands.
Also, this is really funny. Thanks, Peacebang.

New Years Resolutions
Didn't make any. But I think I am going to try to post more links here to articles I find interesting on other blogs or in publications.
For example, Harper's Magazine had a good article recently about Thomas Jefferson's bible (he edited out all the woo-woo supernatural stuff, "just the facts, ma'am" seems to be his approach) and the Gospel of Thomas (collection of the sayings of Jesus thought by some to be a very early Gospel, found with the Nag Hammadi scrolls in Egypt in 1945). It's not online, so check your local library. [Jesus Without the Miracles: Thomas Jefferson's Bible and the Gospel of Thomas, by Erik Reece. Harpers December 2005]. However, a lot of really cool stuff is online at Harper's, with a nice selection of articles on religion. Go to Harper's website and look around.
Happy New Year!
