What's your media diet? With so many great articles, podcasts, and videos out there today it's easy to get lost in the abyss. This blog attempts to filter the quality away from the garbage, and is intended for those who share my passion for learning, and love for a good piece of brainfood.

Why cities rock, on Freakonomics Radio
The good fellows at Freakonomics did an interesting show about cities. Listen now, or download on itunes. The itunes release date was 2/16/11.
What are your top 3 favorite cities in the United States? How about the world?
Loved Glaeser's piece. He's right on the Bay Area's NIMBY's which curb denser development, raising pollution, sprawl, and hurting housing affordability. Berkeley is the most regressive progressive place I've been. Top 3 US cities are definitely New York, San Francisco, and Madison with honorable mention for Portland. Internationally: Dubrovnik, Paris, Granada. //c
Top 3 cities in North America (I can't limit myself to the states, I've had too much fun in Canada): New York, Montréal, Philly. Top 3 World Wide: Paris, Prague, and Biarritz. Miss you Franz! See you this summer.
