Wandering Urbanist: 07.2010

http://mylrt.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Roaming cities and urban places, with rural interludes. Spending most of the year in Eugene, Oregon, summering in the 'burbs of Austin, Texas. It's also a lot harder to keep in shape; when living in Eugene, I could just ride my bike around town, exploring, or going shopping; here, the only roads are two-lane highways with 60 mph speed limits, which I'm a bit wary of biking on. In point, there are days I can't wait to go back to school. I'm bored out of my mind here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wandering Urbanist: Update from Eugene

http://mylrt.blogspot.com/2010/02/update-from-eugene.html

Roaming cities and urban places, with rural interludes. Spending most of the year in Eugene, Oregon, summering in the 'burbs of Austin, Texas. Decided to update the blog; been a bit of a long hiatus recently due to moving to Eugene, Oregon to attend the University of Oregon and major in Architecture, with architecture studio being a lot of the reason for having so little time to blog. Spending multiple all-nighters working on models is not a conducive environment to write in. Yes on Sound Transit 3.

Wandering Urbanist: Progress on Austin Urban Rail?

http://mylrt.blogspot.com/2009/10/progress-on-austin-urban-rail.html

Roaming cities and urban places, with rural interludes. Spending most of the year in Eugene, Oregon, summering in the 'burbs of Austin, Texas. Progress on Austin Urban Rail? Looks like Austin might be just a little bit closer to voting on the City's urban rail project, which unlike MetroRail, will actually garner ridership, as it connects three of the main employment centers in Austin: UT, the Capitol, and Downtown, with some of the northern inner-city neighborhoods. And that's just in the first phase.

Trains Are Awesome: The Boondoggle Chorus

http://trainsareawesome.blogspot.com/2008/11/boondoggle-chorus.html

Monday, November 10, 2008. 1 work of little or no value done merely to look busy. I was planning to take a break from posting here for a bit, but I felt I had to address this matter. The opponents of High-Speed Rail have not taken a break from trying to undermine. The CA High-Speed rail project just because Prop 1A passed. Like clock work they show up on any internet story relating to the project now as they did before the election, and rehash the same tired and debunked. In addition to prop 1A, Californ...

California Normal Speed Rail: How to plan rail service

http://normalspeedrail.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-plan-rail-service.html

California Normal Speed Rail. Sunday, March 8, 2009. How to plan rail service. Those who have been following the California High Speed Rail process will have noticed that there's been quite a lot of recent controversy. About the proposed route between San Francisco and San Jose. Leaving aside the propriety of a government authority board member. Deciding on train service to a station named after himself. What would a planning process look like? I suggest the following:. May 8, 2009 at 8:49 PM. Sorry, but...

Talented Earthquake Productions: Memo to Mitt: Politics is tougher than business

http://talentedearthquake.blogspot.com/2012/07/memo-to-mitt-politics-is-tougher-than.html

Art before politics. Life before art. Saturday, July 14, 2012. Memo to Mitt: Politics is tougher than business. Mafia kingpins, drug lords, and other people who will lie, cheat, steal, and kill to achieve their goals. On a toughness scale, Microsoft's competitors - geeks with fast calculators who drink too much coffee - do not compare well to spies, assassins, and gangsters. Steve Jobs was a tough competitor. Unless you compare him to, say, Saddam Hussein, John Gotti, or the Soviet Union. Subscribe to: P...

Talented Earthquake Productions: Privatizing Disaster Relief

http://talentedearthquake.blogspot.com/2012/10/privatizing-disaster-relief.html

Art before politics. Life before art. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. In the wake of Hurricane/Frankenstorm/Superstorm Sandy, there's been some debate about privatizing disaster relief, mostly because Mitt Romney seems to be in favor of that. There's one problem: we already privatize disaster relief. We already have private, for-profit organizations that respond to events like hurricanes. They're called insurance companies. It isn't a perfect system, because responding to disasters is one of those things th...

Talented Earthquake Productions: One Question for Ron Paul

http://talentedearthquake.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-question-for-ron-paul.html

Art before politics. Life before art. Friday, January 20, 2012. One Question for Ron Paul. So Ron Paul published some newsletters, but doesn't want to talk about them. I find this odd, because I thot that the whole reason a person would publish newsletters - particularly if said person named them after himself - they would want to talk about them. Not Mr. Paul!
