Talking Traffic

You may notice that the sound quality of the last podcast sort of…well…sucks. This is a result of continued experimentation with my equipment. After this non-optimal result, I’m going to make it a habit to download the podcast to my Ipod and listen to it before I post. That way I can at least have a chance at fixing it before it goes up. I’ll probably pull this one off tonight and replace it with a more quality piece of soundcraft. Assuming I can make it better without re-recording it.

My apologies, and the next edition will be better.

Speaking of Roundabouts (see episode 4!): Chandler, AZ made the news for discussions related to installing more roundabouts and traffic circles, primarily for traffic calming.

Red Cow: The only reason I’m linking to this news item is because of the name of the interchange. The N7 Red Cow interchange. Great name. It reminds me of Where’s my Cow? by Terry Pratchett.

Sustainable Campus Transportation: The Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE, not be confused with ASHE, of which I’m a member, or ASHE, which I’m not) has a blurb about a University of Kentucky discussion to green their campus transportation. The upshot: they want to, but aren’t sure how.
