In the past few days I’ve run across two new sites worth devoting some time too. And you have to devote time because they write long pieces, rather than these short snippets that I churn out.
First, via a comment at David Sucher’s City Comforts, comes Ipso Facto, by Eric Schaffer, a philosophy student at the University of Maryland. Mr. Schaffer covers a wide range of topics which happens to coincide nicely with my interests.
Secondly, via John Robb, comes Subtopia, a depressing chronicle of “military urbanism.” The articles examine the effect of military needs on the built environment, or, to put it another way, how the built environment is used to exert power.
