I'd like you to read Victor Dover's evaluation of the Cotton District project in Starkville, MS. You might also find Brian Herman's essay insightful. For images of the Cotton District, click here and here.
Also, read this review of Google's new web browser, Chrome. The author is David Pogue, the New York Times' technology columnist. If you want to give Chrome a spin for yourself, it's free and a quick download.
**Addendum: The Cotton District falls under the rubric of the architectural movement known as New Urbanism, and I thought you might need a quick definition. From the Online NewsHour:
"New Urbanists promote a return to the traditional town planning that defines places like downtown Charleston, South Carolina; old town Alexandria, Va., historic San Francisco and Georgetown in Washington DC. These traditional neighborhoods feature walkable Main Street shopping districts, downtown parks, and grid streets."
The NewsHour's has a great resource on New Urbanism. Take a look.
