Tory Gattis tells us that Houston Freeways (the book) is now available online:
It’s pretty beefy, so printing it or even just skimming through it online is a a nontrivial undertaking, but even if you just look at the pictures and read the captions, it’s well worth it. Relative to its size, Houston probably has the most advanced and extensive freeway network of any city on the planet, and this book explains how we got it and the impact it’s had on our hometown’s growth.
And John Wagner has an early review of Loren Steffy’s new blog:
He’s taken some tough shots at companies such as BP and Citibank. Deserved, maybe. But tough nonetheless.
Journalists who blog will often be the most interesting, because they spend the time and effort to interview, investigate and research topics.
But as I mentioned here, they’re also likely to be much more critical on their blogs than they are in print.
Once journo-bloggers get comfortable with the medium, I predict we’ll see even tougher scrutiny of companies and business people.
