A new draft of the 2035 Wake County Transit Plan is out and I'm pretty disappointed. The plan drops commuter rail in favor of spending $1.1 Billion on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) down I-40.

Every time I make a conference talk, I make a theme for it based on the conference's website/graphics. This time for #fossy2025 I've decided to share that as a template for others to use!

I wrote a blog post the other day about 12-hour time.

Don't take it too seriously! It's a bit of a silly one.
