Hi y'all! I'm at the front end of my journey to as far south as I can in one day solely on public transit. I caught the 6:55 Worcester
@MBTA
train from Boston and am looking forward to a BIG bus development there.

Talk soon.
Hi
@POTUS
/
@JoeBiden
. You follow me from your personal account and I have no idea why. I love trains. I love transit in general. Wanna talk about it sometime?
Or unfollow me so that I don't get so many random DMs.
Hi. My full-time position as weekend news editor at Android Police has been made redundant and while I've been offered retainer work, I am exploring my options.
Outside of my search, if you've got leads or actual FT positions, let's chat: me

1) My instant ass-coffee (hyphenation intended) already tastes like soap, so this is a favor.
2) Soap-filled cushions, please.
3) Thanks for the opportunity! Got ropes to learn and stone to grind. Let's do it.
Please wish me luck in producing tomorrow's

Starry is my provider. I've always been under the impression that their backhaul was satellite, but it's likely not. Distributed via UWB.
I did come from all the way up in... Boston. And it was tasty. Thanks to Regina & co. from Mee Sum for giving it their all,
@sarah_mizes_tan

@npratc
for giving me reason to visit, and

for showing this gem off!

As much as presidents make stock market performance a barometer of their economic policies:
1) Macro and micro analysis is important and should be in the same context as part of that policy assessment.
2) The stock market is not the entire economy.
Foamers take their last anticipated ride of the
@MBTA
Orange Line cars from defunct manufacturer Hawker Siddeley Canada in 1979.
The new cars from China's CRRC factory in Springfield are expected to replace the full fleet after the 30-day closure.
So, the
@mbta_cr
has failed you, Merrimack Valley. Bihourly service weekdays, shafted weekends.
If you need to get from the following places to Boston without breaking the bank and are willing to put up with hours of commute time, here's what you need to do:
After a call with UMass Transit and some panicked confusion, I welcome you to the B79, the newest PVTA service connecting Worcester to Amherst! It mainly serves the student population going between UMASS out west and Boston from Thursday to Monday.

I'm following up on a story I did last month where an app icon designer had icon packs for Android taken off the Play Store for violating Google's Repetitive Content policy. If you or anyone you know's been affected, get in touch with me.
I'm now editing the
@AndroidPolice
Newsletter and that means changing the header image to something I drafted up, like, 2 years ago. More superficial stitch-ups to come and random spice to come.
Sign up and get ready for Sunday morning:
After trundling to the Holyoke Mall with another 15 minute layover... we're 5 minutes from Springfield Union Station.
Amherst to Springfield. 95 minutes. Doesn't have to be this way.
I'm pleased to announce that I'm pushing on all cylinders with roles

I hope you've enjoyed my commentary today!
#TransitGoFar
I'll be in PHL tomorrow to hopefully catch up with
@milesintransit1
and futz around into the evening before taking the overnight Amtrak back to Boston (using my USA Rail Pass!)
And hey, maybe I'll do a westward sequel...!
2018: a random couple comes out of an ice cream shop, sees me with my dinky mirrorless camera and asks me to take some pictures. Best 5 minutes we've (all 3 of us) had that day.
They're no longer together, but they gave me permission to share these great pictures again.
My brother wants to get an HTC U12+ for its speakers and Edge Sense. I mean, I'm not gonna stop him, but he's not going to single-handedly turn the company around.

To new beginnings.
