Email me here or if you'd like to be kept upto date with what I'm up to click below to get a weekly (or so) email from me letting you know what I’ve been blogging about.

[The Daily Spirit-Human] Scrapper: This is the second time I’ve used the rental trailer to recover abandoned bikes. Both times I’ve seen these bikes while out running then went back to pick them up, usually in some obscure location out of sight by most motorists. I think it’s good to clean up our environment of these little bike graveyards, because no-one should have to see junk laying around while out running. It’s trashy, unnatural and detracts from the overall well-being of our environment.

 [Adriel Hampton] Coup d'etat at the DCCC? Our latest reminder that ...: Of note, I did the bulk of the work to raise the funds for the card and this was done. Before I left, everything was in place to ensure that the card goes out in timely fashion. There are funds pledged and in to ensure that we mail the card not only to absentees but election day voters. I urge those members who seem to feel compelled to call the vendors, try to set up their own system, or become chair themselves, to stop these actions and allow our card to go out.

 [Adriel Hampton] The whole mess over the DCCC slate card comes down...: The whole mess over the DCCC slate card comes down to this: If the card doesn't go out, the mayor's endorsements mean that much more. So Tom Hsieh Jr. and his allies join with Bill Barnes to supress 120,000 copies of the official party card, and Mayor Gavin Newsom sends out three pieces for a total of 250,000 voter contacts.

[Delong.typepad.com] Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: "China's dollar dilemma," by ...: China's leaders are preparing their people for an end to the policy of pegging the renminbi at Rmb8.28 to the US dollar, the bedrock of economic policy for a decade. Changing the currency regime would have big implications for China's economic management and, some in Beijing think, forits development strategy predicated on foreign direct investment inflows and export-led growth. China's exchange rate is also central to the growing debate over whether the current imbalances in the global economy - whereby the US has a large current account deficit while other countries accumulate dollar assets - can be sustained (see chart below). Pressure on China to alter its exchange rate is particularly strong from Washington...

[20six.co.uk] Cllr Andrew Brown: Recycling Targets: There was an interesting presentation which outlined the challenge.  It pointed out that we need to move from a London average participation rate - the number of people that use the kerbside recycling on offer - of 46% (Lewisham's is 30%) to 80%.  They suggested that we are looking to increase the amount that each household recycles by 180kg a year, and that those living on estates by 120kg a year.

 [Dougal.gunters.org] geek ramblings » Recycling: I also have noticed that they seem to dump everything into the same truck regardless of how we separate. Even though we were told that recycling pick-up is only on “even numbered mondays.” We have only recently switched to WM and I haven’t had a chance to look into it yet. Interested in a video follow-along expose? Perhaps (as you are in GA) this is a standard WM corporate practice…
