Successfully convinced a dozen coworkers in Orange County to take Metrolink to an event instead of Ubers and it was not only cheaper, but we beat everyone who took an Uber instead because of SoCal traffic. Love when transit works out perfectly, especially when I'm introducing it to others.

New Bay Wheels dock in front of Huchiun Park and The Emery. Love the increased park access and the convenient location for the hundreds of new residents in my neighborhood!

Yearly reminder that Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for children. If you have the choice not to drive or are on the fence about taking transit, there is no better day than tomorrow.

This week I shipped The Outer Worlds 2 with Obsidian Entertainment, a game I've been working on for almost 3 years. The response has been overwhelming.
Every developer got to have a "Tossball" card placed somewhere in the game, it's surreal to see a YouTube guide on how to collect yourself.

Came back from the amazing Life After Cars show in SF to have both Emeryville bound busses leave simultaneously before I could exit the station. Both of them have 30 minute frequencies so it was quite painful. Thankfully Bay Wheels saved the day, but it was a little ironic to say the least.

These no bike signs on Macalla Rd on Yerba Buena Island are kinda confusing being above explicitly marked bike routes.

I spent the morning helping pick up 6 tons of trash from the segment of Wood St. between 34th and Target with the Urban Compassion Project. We only stopped because we filled our entire 40 yard dumpster, but we will be back soon to finish the job.

I had the chance to take Brightline from Orlando to Boca Raton when visiting family last month, and it is amazing how having a rail option faster than driving shifts the conversation. Even my relatives that are extremely into cars recognized that it was a better option.

My parents got a new black lab puppy and sent me this picture of how she's getting along with their pug Ogie.

As businesses ramp up opposition to the 40th Street transit lanes despite them being fully designed and funded, this is a reminder that 4 different AC Transit lines (F,J,36,57) and both Emery-Go Round lines carry significantly more people than the cars do but get stuck in the same traffic on 40th.

Got my bike back from the shop and got to see a bird nesting on the Bay Bridge and some pretty views.

It took everything I had to bike up here, but the view was definitely worth it.

Just today more info came out about this.
The left screenshot is from an email from Priforce where he states that he collected $2550 from Buttner Properties President Tim Robinson from April 9th to October 10th. The right is from my substack post where I call out the reporting date ending April 5th.

Love coming back from a bike ride only to find out that we are in another pointless war.

Turnout at the No Kings protest in Oakland was incredible. Felt like the entire Town was out protesting the wannabe dictator.

Note to self, don't run for office if you don't want people obsessed with you months after you lose. These comments are from an article not even about me and I haven't participated in the discussion for. I haven't talked with John in months!
