Global Village

Interesting stat this morning from the New York Times about Silicon Valley:

"Forty-eight percent of the households of the region speak a language other than English in the home."

I am not surprised. This is one of the reasons this is such a special place. I wonder what what the distribution over the various languages looks like.

More cool trips

Things at EveryTrail are picking up. Since the new version was launched traffic has more than doubled and many cool trips were uploaded. There are trips from over 80 countries. It's always a nice surprise to find trips from the Netherlands. This one appears to have been uploaded by an Italian user who took a cool family bike trip in the Netherlands. Be sure to click on the pictures for some typically Dutch vistas. I especially love this picture of the "parking" at Utrecht Central Train station :)
