Mazda Says Walk, in Japanese

The car manufacturer Mazda is offering its Japanese employees an incentive if they walk to work. They say they have no plans to introduce this policy in America - I don't doubt it, their factories are probably located in places where it is impossible or way to far to walk to, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was no transit access to them either.

A9 Maps and Pictures

Amazon's search site A9 has a new mapping tool that has street level photographs of popular neighborhoods in many cities. If you search for an address and they have photographed that area, you can see street level photographs of both sides of the street - making it very easy to see if what you are looking for is actually there.
