Google Transit Expands
Google Transit, an extension of Google Maps that lets those of us who are car-free traverse out cities via walking and public transportation, has recently expanded from a Portland-only offering to five other cities, including Pittsburgh!
So if you’re thinking of moving to the US, or you already live here but maybe you’re stuck up in a red state or just don’t like the weather up in New England, you might want to think about moving to our happy mountain home.

Free your iPod Shuffle from iTunes
iPod Shuffle Unleashed
There are long suffering Shuffle owners out there with little to no regard for iTunes yet they are forced to install and use this junky software just to ulpload tracks onto the little device. Suffer no more! Someone has created a tiny free app that you can use to upload tracks with no strings attached. Now you can transfer songs to your iPod Shuffle from multiple computers without iTunes raping your poor little Shuffle first.
Alas, iShuffle doesnt work on my computer because iTunes is so broken it won’t even uninstall anymore, but I have already decided you shall be blessed with better luck!

DIY iPod dock
“flickrflick151 shows how he put together a poor man’s iPod dock with only a cardboard box, some tape, and the tools that Jobs gave him.
There aren’t a lot of instructions included, but the pictures do most of the talking. Basically, using the plastic insert that came with your iPod, you cut a hole in the top of the cardboard box and get busy with some tape. Granted, if you want to you can certainly pretty this method up a bit (e.g., this very cool embedded iPod dock), but the point is that you can make your own iPod dock for pretty cheap if you’re dying to have a dock but aren’t pleased with the hefty price tag.
Cardboard not your thing? Try building an iPod dock with Legos.”

Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
