@pickovven Or in exchange for powerful, durable TDM measures… like not providing any parking on-site. in reply to pickovven 15:59:45, 2014-11-15
@pickovven I’m thinking something like inclusionary upzoning, but for reduced building energy use rather than affordable housing. in reply to pickovven 15:58:06, 2014-11-15
@pickovven But only if they don’t fall into the trap of thinking that development is axiomatically evil, or takes something from the public. in reply to ZaneSelvans 15:55:16, 2014-11-15
@pickovven Development entitlements are valuable regulatory assets. Cities can use them to incentivize sustainable development if they want. in reply to pickovven 15:54:35, 2014-11-15
@republicwirelss Did something change recently? Suddenly I’m getting lots of VOIP ports blocked, where they used to work fine… 15:53:33, 2014-11-15
@fonnesbeck It should be some kind of information crime to use a compiler that is older than you are. in reply to fonnesbeck 11:52:12, 2014-11-15
RT @fonnesbeck: I propose renaming g77 to "g-nineteen-seventy-fucking-seven". 11:51:45, 2014-11-15
@ramez Meh. It’s probably nothing to worry about… in reply to ramez 11:38:58, 2014-11-15
Why not just make building awesome sustainable cities the most profitable option? I want people to get rich doing the right thing. 11:27:46, 2014-11-15
@elakdawalla It’s a great plot device. You should use it! in reply to elakdawalla 11:22:31, 2014-11-15
Frustrating to see development treated like a zero sum game. Developers and cities trying to extract as much as possible from each other. 11:22:19, 2014-11-15

@republicwirelss I am getting tons of spam phone calls… why isn’t it easy to block numbers w/ RW, like on some other Android phones? 12:37:18, 2014-11-14
@StdBikeRepair Another good one: http://t.co/dm3uapoSqS (70% of Copenhagen cyclists keep riding all winter long) in reply to ZaneSelvans 12:05:48, 2014-11-14
@StdBikeRepair With decent infrastructure, most people can (and do!) ride in this weather… https://t.co/eyxcQP0s4a in reply to StdBikeRepair 11:55:00, 2014-11-14
@StdBikeRepair Tthen what do the women and children who ride (or would like to ride) in this cold do? Doesn’t it seem discouraging to them? in reply to StdBikeRepair 11:52:32, 2014-11-14
@StdBikeRepair Also, um, like 70% of all Copenhagen cyclists ride all winter long (men, women, children, old farts…): http://t.co/dm3uapoSqS in reply to StdBikeRepair 11:41:16, 2014-11-14
@StdBikeRepair Um, duh. Women who ride in this cold are women. Reflexive property FTW: https://t.co/lYHaWSWYXA in reply to StdBikeRepair 11:40:38, 2014-11-14
@sugarmags3 And somehow, they don’t even *mention* discount rate or risk pricing. in reply to sugarmags3 11:17:25, 2014-11-14
I no longer answer unrecognized numbers on my phone. Text me first if I don’t know you and tell me who you are. 11:06:11, 2014-11-14
@ericmbudd I am looking forward to getting an all solid-state machine next year some time… in reply to ericmbudd 00:25:01, 2014-11-14

@bryvdv @BokehPlots Awesome, thanks for the links. I do think a persistent server example gallery would be sweet. in reply to bryvdv 14:36:19, 2014-11-13
@douglaswatters @StreetsblogNet @copenhagenize Pretty sure most of them dress in normal winter urban attire. Scarves, boots, pea coats, etc. in reply to douglaswatters 11:14:46, 2014-11-13
Also, worth remembering that ~70% of Copenhagen cyclists ride all winter long. I am no badass. http://t.co/dm3uaoy52G http://t.co/nFY9cAiJbx 11:06:57, 2014-11-13

And before you start complaining #Boulder, we don’t plow residential streets because our population density is too low to pay for it. 18:12:59, 2014-11-11
@usethespacebar @elehack Lots of beautiful @BokehPlots but they seem like they’re actually static, just w/ different pan/zoom options. in reply to usethespacebar 17:59:48, 2014-11-11
@usethespacebar Okay, seems like these visualization tools are primarily meant to explore a pre-calculated dataset. True? (and thanks!) in reply to usethespacebar 17:29:20, 2014-11-11
@drgrist Because incumbency. *sigh* in reply to drgrist 17:10:06, 2014-11-11

@ericmbudd I just feel like it ends up with bikes that people are frustrated with using as car replacements, and then they blame the bike. in reply to ericmbudd 22:26:15, 2014-11-10
@ericmbudd I’ve got two bikes. My frustration is w/ others who want my advice on their one bike, which needs to be utilitarian. in reply to ericmbudd 22:20:16, 2014-11-10
I will never understand why so many people insist on making their everyday bikes lightweight and dysfunctional instead of sturdy workhorses. 22:10:32, 2014-11-10
