How-To: Turn off Facebook Chat Sidebar
Written on July 18, 2011 at 10:05 am, by cct

The Appeal of #FlightVSBike / #FlightVSMetro
Written on July 16, 2011 at 12:52 pm, by cct
As I sit here engrossed in the twitter feed of #FlightVSBike, following the LAStreetsBlog tracker, and completely ignoring most of what I planned to do this morning, I write this trying to understand for myself what the appeal of this adventure is centered in and on. I think it is partly because there’s something about it that is inherently new – that we’ve come to a time in our technological advancements that we have such a variety of transportation options across different terrains. So then, comparing them is something we can do. This is especially true in an odd moment, the transportation shift of “Carmageddon”, that creates the frame for a jet to only travel such a short distance (and JetBlue’s marketing prowess).
