Eliminating Californias suburban sprawl - Inside Bay Area
Rated • 1 review • environment, california, urban planning • insidebayarea.com
A major new effort to eliminate California's suburban sprawl
By Paul Rogers
San Jose Mercury News
08/24/2008
From the page: "The bill would make California the first state in the nation to attempt to reduce global warming emissions by drawing up regional plans to reduce miles driven by passenger vehicles, then directing most transportation funding only to so-called "smart growth'" projects.
If it becomes law, the measure could affect everything from San Jose's proposed Coyote Valley development to future construction in eastern Contra Costa County, Watsonville and Napa.
"We know people are going to drive. We want them in their cars for less time," said state Sen. Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, who authored the bill, SB 375.
Steinberg, elected Thursday as the new state Senate leader, wants cities and counties to develop new housing close to rail lines, bus stops and bike lanes, and housing that's clustered near existing development, rather than built out in the countryside, necessitating long commutes."

From Snapshots, a 3-D View
By DAVID POGUE
Published: August 21, 2008
From the page: "Microsoft introduced yet another way to represent a place: Photosynth. This sophisticated technology does a simple thing. It turns a bunch of overlapping photos into a 3-D panorama.
The result, called a photosynth, is a little bit like a virtual world. You can move sideways, up or down into neighboring photos. You can turn around to look behind you. And at any time, you can zoom forward incredibly far into a photo, since it retains all of its original, multi-megapixel resolution."
