Organ Harvesting
I’m not to psyched on the organ harvesting stories. They are horrific but elements could come to play in The Gatecrashers. Here’s a scary one.
Lokpal
Via Business Wek: India is creating a graft-busting agency called Lokpal (Sanskrit for “protector of the people”).

The Glossary
I’m starting a Glossary here in the Garage. I’ve decided to break it up into real world; where I’m going to pull words from all the reference reading I’m doing, and Palomar City, where I’m going to plug in some definitions for in-world items you might come across on the blog. This will hopefully find it’s way into a wiki in the near future.
In conjunction with the Glossary, I’m going to start a Reading List. I read about one book a year, and usually only half of it. So don’t worry, that list is not going to be too intense.
Here are the first two entries in the Reading List.
Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found
Shadow Cities: A Billion Squatters, A New Urban World
