Hitched.

Time Magazine, not usually a bastion of thought-provoking, progressive journalism, has published one of the most interesting, uh, “Spirit of the Times” articles in awhile. The Top 10 Ideas That Are Changing the World Today - It’d be easy to jot down a few freebies (Uhhhh green technology uhhhh saving money uhhh organic food), but this list shows some real forethought and research.

For the lazy:

1. Jobs Are the New Assets
2. Recycling the Suburbs
3. The New Calvinism
4. Reinstating The Interstate
5. Amortality
6. Africa: Open for Business
7. The Rent-a-Country
8. Biobanks
9. Survival Stores
10. Ecological Intelligence

Amortality, The New Calvinism and Recycling the Suburbs are my favorites. Although, Recycling the Suburbs has been around for 20 or more years. It’s just the glut of grossly over-large chunks of commercial real estate that’s turned it from a fringe solution into good, common sense.
