You Bike Commute, You Still Pollute
I just read an article in the New York Times about a University of Pennsylvania professor who has written a paper that is surely in the running for this year’s And Your Point Is? award. His theory is that because cyclists live longer, they actually pollute more than people who drive cars. While burning fossil fuels is bad for air quality, outliving your couch potato neighbor is a bigger net drain on the Earth’s resources. This should give the Chicago city council just what they need to levy a tax on bike riders. Up next, Why Bean Consumption and Flatulence is Destroying the Environment.
Scott,
Great site, Had a question for you, how were you able to move in your post the “Filed under:” and “Comments” to below your post? In addition, how were you able to set up the date like that? Are they call plugins or just modifying the CSS? I definetly don’t want to copy your style, but just some pointers. Thanks!
Christian: Thanks! No plugins…it’s a combo of hacking theloop.php and adding to the CSS. Those two mods came from Ben Gray over at http://www.openswitch.org. Below are the links to his posts on the topics. I ended up downloading his Unsleepable theme, because it was easier to cut and past from that theloop.php file than it was to type it all from scratch.

Scott,
Appreciate the fast response and I am up and running. Thanks again.
Best,
Christian
No problem. Looks good, too. All that detailed metadata info works on the 2 column K2, but on a three column design I think it can really clutter things up. And besides, while its a ‘nice to have’ it isn’t a ‘need to have.’
