Chris from Seattle’s Pb Elemental Architecture has sent us photos of another one of their projects, this time it’s the The Tantalus Residences. From Pb Elemtal: The Tantalus Residences consist of four 3-level homes connected by a centered bridge leading to each homes entrance. Due to the topography of the site these homes enter on the middle or top floor of the home. The homes rage from 1,650 to 1,586 sq.ft. and have three bedrooms ...

Filed under: Cars and Transportation, LocalHow do you encourage people to green their means of transportation? If you're Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, you close down one neighborhood each weekend to car traffic and force people to walk, ride, or bike. They're called 'car-free days' and they're part of Nickels' initiative to annoy drivers get Seattle's citizens out and about in their neighborhoods -- but they haven't been going so well. Last weekend's event had to ...

Filed under: Fiber Maybe you haven't noticed, but Verizon has been throwing FiOS TV to Washington cities on a really regular basis. This week, we see Woodway awarding the carrier with a video franchise, while nine more New Jersey cities -- including parts of Salem County, the city of Camden and the city of Paterson -- get the luxury of ordering. Finally, we've got much of Stafford County, Virginia expecting to receive the fiber-based programming ...

When SoundExchange, the organization that represents many labels and artists, proposed steep new royalty rates for radio webcasters last year, they shortsightedly killed off their own revenue stream. Instead of their proposed rates being cut back as part of a standard negotiation, they were surprised to see the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board reject opposing arguments and adopt SoundExchange's rates fully. Now Pandora, the popular streaming music site, says it's paying over 70% of its revenue ...

Ever since its founding by George Washington in 17-whatever-something, the District of Columbia has never heard the thrilling ring of gunfire. Finally, after more than two centuries of firearm-free boredom, Washington will get its very first guns, this month! Nobody knows how the D.C. vibe will change with the addition of guns. What will people do with guns? Will they just innocently collect the firearms, and perhaps occassionally have “target practice” at picnics, on the ...

Because the law does not permit individuals from transporting unregistered handguns ...

Do you get lost a lot while driving? If you do you might want to get yourself a GPS navigation system. Dash Navigation, a Sunnyvale, California based startup, which I previously previewed in episode 30 of SOMEWHAT FRANK TV has created an innovative GPS system that connects to the Internet. I recently tested the Dash Express GPS system myself as I spent the day navigating DC with the hot new gadget. Check out the video ...

Filed under: Fiber Coming off a somewhat busy week last week, it seems that Verizon's worker bees are still out in full force (begrudgingly or otherwise) in order to keep those FiOS TV installations going at a rapid pace. Up first, we're seeing the fiber-based programming service head to even more apartments in Northern Virginia, this time to Archstone Apartments in 14 NoVA communities. Next, we're seeing that yet another locale in Washington state (Brier) ...

Independents split 45/45, while 16 percent of Democrats still support Reichert. Bringing those voters home will be important for Burner's chances of victory, and to do that, she'll need cash to deliver her message to her district's voters. It's the end of the month, I was planning on doing ...

The oil lobby easily sways the US Federal government. Congress is wet lacustrine clay in their lobbyist-stained hand. West Coast governors: not so malleable; and, more practical. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, joined with Democratic Govs. Ted Kulongoski of Oregon and Chris Gregoire of Washington to reaffirm their opposition to opening undersea oil fields to new drilling, as part of an elaborate action plan for preserving coastal waters. Healthy fishing and tourism industries have a ...

in terms of the appropriate sympathetic nervous system response, an e-mail subject line like “big favor” is kinda the modern cubicle-dweller’s equivalent of “saber-tooth tiger outside cave!” (note: this e-mail, our seattle-area submitter says, is from the very same person who brought us this.) related: perhaps it’s time for a little group therapy?

Since I don't run the country, all I can do is yell at 'em. The other option is to run 'em over, but as a compassionate conservative, I would never do that." Today he took option two, except the 66 year ...
