I have been trying to do more blogging and less linking here so that you actually get something of value when you come here to the LJ Urban blog.  But look at this jacket, how could I possibly resist posting about it?

Its one of those questions that seems to come up now and again.  And I can’t seem to give it a straight answer, at times I even find myself asking the same question of others.  I would like to think that we (meaning everyone) do it so that we can contribute just a little bit [...]

I haven’t been posting too much lately mainly because my writing time has been devoted to web site content.
We’re working on a few ways to present Eco-Urban through the site. We need to have a tie between the car we’re driving around and the site, so people can get a better understanding of Eco-Urban [...]
