Readers want to know what can be done about the 'burbs, not whether anything should be done about them. That's someone else's gig. True, some folks revel in their 30 minute, twice-daily holiday with themselves alone. That's someone else. Dwell magazine asked professionals among its readership to submit "visionary" proposals to "revision" - that is, to show us the way to Reburbia. How regurgitating was it? Tune in tomorrow.

Meanwhile, up top, at left and below are a few teasers from Dwell's 20 finalists. Tonight, we link to the whole dirty score. The Pro-Urb list.serv has been burbling over the contest for the last few days, urging votes for the only really good entry, by Galina Tahchieva, who works with DPZ as its town planner. You can go to Dwell and vote. See her entry tomorrow!

It's hot!

Meanwhile . . .

Far as I'm concerned, your upadte schedule is totally up to you. Just because you're doing something awesome on the internet, doesn't give the internet any right to tell you how.I will say, though, that there's something uniquely thrilling about regular upadtes in serialized fiction. Having a whole book in front of you is one thing but having a good book produced and made available on a faithful schedule is something really special. It seems that even the best can't keep this up for very long, not while maintaining quality, [cf. life, etc.] but you did for quite awhile, and I really appreciated that.Since you mentioned it, though, why is strong moderation censorship? You wouldn't be denying folks the right to express their views, just the ability to do so right here in the comment thread that you pay to maintain. If you want to scrub your readers' fouler effluvia, isn't that up to you?
