Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

google maps (punching me in the stomach): fastest route is uber me: but i want to take the subway google maps (throwing me across the room): 2 buses and a transfer would save 4 minutes me: i like subway google maps (kicking me in the head): biking is 45 seconds faster me: underground choo-choo

Almost got Union Terminal in view

the motel knows where it is at all times. it knows this, because it knows where it isn’t.

now I'm reminded of the guy who they named Cincinnati after who was twice appointed to be dictator of Rome during wars and both times ended the crisis in like 2 weeks and immediately resigned his dictatorship to go back to his farm and follow his true passion of growing cabbages

The problem with Democrats in the Biden era wasn’t the content of the domestic policies, it was the total failure to sell them and to understand, manage, and master the media environment, especially social media.

This is great. Public transit is public space and public space should be more playful.

I love this branding

Here's a better version of the graph @mrkerrymd.bsky.social

Most of Cincinnati's potholes are along Metro routes. My latest-and-greatest idea is to utilize SORTA Metro buses as a means of daily detection of potholes, and a google-streetview sort of system for DOTE.

I got primo parking for the UC Bearcats football game that I have to babysit. A data closet in Edwards hall 😃🚴🚴🚴

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

More speed relates to more pothole reports

Finally got the good SQL query running against the best datasets that I have: 1) CAGIS Hamilton County Polygons 2) Snowplow priority routes -- multistring with road speedlimits! 3) Pothole report data since 2023 4) Cincinnati City Outline

DOTE's current database setup is less than idea. It is some Microsoft Access database which they call NeSIS (NEw Street Information System). I'm afraid to learn what the old SIS was. It looked visibly slow and painful to use. Usable to update some data, but painful to pull data.

I have one day left to get a pitch together for the Cincinnati Pave The Way innovation lab www.flywheelcincinnati.org/flywheelsoci... Its just a 5 minute recorded pitch. Its funny how much this feels like throwing together a school project at the last minute.

Ingesting the Cincinnati street data into a local postgreSQL database is just the easiest thing to do. Now I get to write SQL, what a joy.

I think we all need to constantly split hairs as much as possible to deflate the magical thinking our decision-maker class has adopted around AI. I basically have to do this all day at work. If you’re using “AI” as a shorthand for “a magic wizard” around me I will quibble until you understand that

I've found myself participating in Cincinnati's www.flywheelcincinnati.org/innovationlabs Pave The Way innovation lab. The sprint week starts this Monday.

There are reports The White House is considering a 50% cut to NASA’s science programs, and 25% of its overall budget, which would be catastrophic for both current and planned missions. But, there is still time for the administration to reconsider. Read our full statement ⬇️
