Simple idea: Change the margins! by Sura, October 14

Change the Margins is a website my friend Wendy told me about. I’ve been doing it for years, but never thought to share the idea. I’m glad someone did. One other suggestion I’ll make is to use the column feature for easier reading or for drafts. There’s a reason newspapers and magazines use columns–it’s easier on the eyes.

Community Bike Cart Design by Sura, October 12

Check out this website to make your own bike cart:

Community Bike Cart Design

  • To design a bicycle trailer that is strong and versatile enough to transport the cargo that you could in a car, but simple and cheap enough that anybody could build one themselves with and for their community
  • To distribute the design for the trailers as widely as possible free of charge
  • Keep the costs and complexity to a minimum; the trailer costs $30 in parts and can be built in 8 to 15 hours with only a drill, oxy-acetylene torch, and basic hand tools like a hacksaw and a file
  • Decrease our dependence on automobiles by making cheap bicycle trailers available as a viable alternative to car use
