I "love" how we need to keep on studying things that are flat out good for society while bad things just get rolled out without the same onus of proof.

- Walkable cities prioritising pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit
- Low speed limits for cars
- No-strings housing for homeless
- High taxes for the rich
And the list goes on and on... why do we make it so hard to improve our society while making it so easy to ruin it?

They're also enjoying learning Git (via github) by the look of it. Hopefully the version control stuff can bleed into their other projects.
@suzannealdrich @LGUG2Z @anderseknert @blog @mapache You may be interested in the Distributed Press Social Inbox. You add a bit of metadata to your static site and have a static Actor JSON file point to the inbox for getting replies. Then can pull replies using JS or during site rebuild.

@Miaourt I started with Oryx and Crake and its sequels. Loved it. Currently reading The Handmaid's Tale. Both seem like glimpses into near futures which is kind of disheartening :P
