monday media: wednesday edition
I'd like to say the usual roundup of links was delayed by the transit strike, but the strike didn't start until tues. so monday was spent away from the computer and at the moma to see the great exhibition, SAFE: design takes on risk, and walking around the city by choice. yesterday, the strike afforded me the opportunity to take in the great sights of long island, like the mall, tract housing, the new HOV lane on the LIE. pretty exciting stuff, this suburbia. today I shall attempt to make it as far as brooklyn to see friends and celebrate the holidays at a friend's very successful coffe shop (and for the coffee enthusiast on your gift list, they ship). so without further ado, some links for your enjoyment:- CA's ex-governors argue for increased trade at SoCal's ports, calling for a "green freight" initiative in the latimes to protect the environment but also handle growing capacity for shipping containers and ports. details are limited in the opinion piece.
