gruven 530 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 If I didn't know Chris better, I would say this is a carefully worded sentence that he could get out of 1year from now when a video of him using crack is suddenly found. "I didnt say I never used crack cocaine, you asked if I ever smoked it, and I said I have never smoked crack.....I have smoked crack cocaine however, yes. I sincerely sincerely apologize" I've said I'm sorry. Now **** off and leave me alone so I can score some cra... er... run the city!! Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 In line with our discussions this past week, there's a really interesting (I assume, I haven't seen it yet) documentary playing this week at the Bloor Cinema. The Human Scale (links to a short preview that auto-plays) The human scale questions our assumptions about modernity, exploring what happens when we put people into the center of our equations. For 40 years the Danish architect Jan Gehl has systematically studied human behavior in cities. His starting point was an interest in people, more than buildings – in what he called Life Between Buildings. What made it exist? When was it destroyed? How could it be brought back? This lead to studies of how human beings use the streets, how they walk, see, rest, meet, interact etc. Jan Gehl also uses statistics, but the questions he asks are different. For instance: How many people pass this street throughout a 24 hour period? How many percent of those are pedestrians? How many are driving cars or bikes? How much of the street space are the various groups allowed to use? Is this street performing well for all its users? Jan Gehl made his first studies in Italy and later he inspired the planning of Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, for 40 years. His ideas inspired the creation of walking streets, the building and improvements of bike paths and the reorganization of parks, squares and other public spaces throughout this city and in many other cities in the Nordic region. Around the world cities like Melbourne, Dhaka, New York, Chongqing and Christchurch are now also being inspired by Gehl’s work and by the developments in Copenhagen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Reminds me of a joke on Weekend Update a couple years ago... they had a joke-off, it was like Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon vs Amy Poehler and Seth Myers, about a strip club in NY that was accepting toys for charity. One of the jokes: So remember, bring a toy for charity.... and she'll give it to the manager. Link to post Share on other sites
