Raise the Hammer Turns Two

Raise the Hammer’s second anniversary edition is out. I’ve got a piece called The Digital City where I propose that Hamilton builds a city-wide wireless network so we can all get rid of our cellphones. There’s a whole bunch of other good stuff, including some observations of an American city that are remarkably like alevo’s impression of Washington D.C. when I spoke to him about it some time ago:

The plane ride over was quite the experience. Not so much the customs – don’t get me started on that – but more the little things you notice.

Like – why were only white people flying and riding the planes? And why was every single cashier, airport worker, and flight attendant black?

Happy Birthday RTH!
