Sometimes when people who don’t like trains say ‘what? 18h? You can drive it in 8’, I say yes but that’s 10h of not riding a train; which sucks.

That confuses them.

I guess I should finally do an #introduction post. 😅

Hi! My name is Brian. I’m the spouse of one and father of two redheads.

Originally from Chicagoland, I’ve lived in Washington, DC since 2003. I’ve worked on digital asset management and repositories at Apple since 2010. Before that, the Library of Congress. Mostly in #Java.

I enjoy #cocktails, #wine, & #coffee. I read Faulkner, McSweeney’s, sci-fi/fantasy, & software in my spare time. I am passionate about #urbanism and #transit.

Official Introduction Post:

#GenX #actor, #writer, and #transit advocate. I believe in #cities and #urbanism. Live in #WeHo in #California.

“I feel like for small neighborhood parks, we do more public engagement and participation.”

The City of #Austin is speeding through land-use reforms which can sometimes take years to accomplish, and some city residents are concerned they aren't being heard.

I wrote the inaugural article for a new publication, Austin Free Press, about controversial zoning changes and whether they'll increase affordability:

An #Introduction

Hello friends—I just migrated here from another instance, and I am excited to be here! Hopefully, all my follows & followers came over okay. For new folks, here are some things about me:

I enjoy #Gaming, both #TableTop and #VideoGames. I am into sports, especially #Baseball, #Hockey, and #Formula1. I love #Music of all kinds, especially #Metal, #HardcorePunk, and #AlternativeRock. I am a hugely interested in #Aviation and #Railroads—and #Transit in general. In no specific order, I dig #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, #History, #LEGO, #Geese, and #Computers. My favourite number is three.

See you around!

On this day in 1983, "Every Breath You Take" by the Police was #1 on the Billboard charts.

And #Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis announced the Central Artery Tunnel project - the one we now know as The Big Dig.

This video pairs the audio track of our new #podcast with lo-fi archival footage of what #Boston looked like back when a massive raised interstate highway split the city in half. #urbanism #transit #cities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ9wEUKs4U4

New server so now seems like a good time for introductions. After 14.5 years on that other site, it feels odd to start over.

I lead technical teams by day, I read transit reports by night, and I curl on the weekends.

I’m a #computers #transit #elections #publichealth nerd, an amateur contributor to #curling #cycling #politics #cities #urbanism #sustainability, and a #science #data #democracy #lgbtq #gaydad #publictransit #equity advocate.
