My Congress Person Supports Net Neutrality, Too.
You know that letter I sent to my representative in July, urging her to support net neutrality? I sent one to John Garamendi, too. I heard back from him today in another encouraging canned message.

Richard Reis pens a great piece on bike commuting from the perspective of a non-cyclist. And it’s a nice follow-up to last week’s piece about where you should live.
