  • Part of me wanted to keep biking in Mexico indefinitely, but I took a bus from Chihuahua across the border at Juarez and on to LA instead. #

  • Biked to Creel in the Sierra Madre from Cd. Chihuahua. Wonderful people, weather, scenery, lousy roads. Funny how those go together! #

  • Really enjoyed the @LAStreetSummit Thanks @UEPI and @JoeLinton Hopefully next year I can get more folks from up here to come down w/ me! #
  • Friends and quiche and tea in the morning. Implementing our tax protest through continued voluntary poverty… aka grad school. #
  • Too bad my bicycle doesn't qualify for the "Energy Efficient Car" or "New Car Tax" tax credits. Lame. #
  • Assembling spares and tools for Barrancas del Cobre bike tour. #
  • If only I knew what I was going to forget to take to Chihuahua, I could pack it now… #
  • Taking the loaded bike up Chantry to see how it feels, and make sure nothing falls apart. Including me! #
  • Bicicleta + equipaje + camino de arena al Monte Wilson == siesta. ¡Espero que esta va bien! #
  • Manejando una bicicleta por las Barrancas del Cobre y la Sierra Tarahumara en el estado de Chihuahua, Mexico hasta aprox. el 16o de Abril. #

  • Utah weather was not cooperative. Missed my bicycle more than the Internet. Turns out some of the world's best information is in books. :) #
  • Looking forward to bike/ped friendly NYC transpo kmish Janette Sadik-Khan's talk at Oxy Thursday night. Wanna come? http://bit.ly/doKTDW #
  • US DoT sez "Consider walking and bicycling as equals with other transpo". Then how bout $ proportional to modeshare? http://bit.ly/b1xjBR #
  • Misread @flyingpigeonla hours, biked down to pick up an order and found them closed. *sigh* #
  • I totally feel like blowing the whole world off at this point. #
  • Sagan is dead! Long live Sagan! http://bit.ly/atq5hI #
  • Used the back-end of a clothespin instead of a $23 pair of retaining ring installation pliers. #iloveopposablethumbs #
  • Panning around Google Earth at high zoom cannot possibly be the best way to find the Tijuana bus station. #
  • Ugh. @LAStreetSummit is feeling a little bit too much like a scientific conference. #
  • Lack of open WiFi at @LAStreetSummit is going to make my workshop on crowd-sourced mapping…. uh, challenging. #
  • My @LAStreetSummit talk could have been smoother. Listening to @lacbc talk about 1st LA bike counts, then on to Don Shoup/parking cash-out. #

Tweets for the week of 2010-03-06

  • Retirement talk seems to have gone pretty well… It was probably the tie. #
  • US to require all cars have brake-override. Great. I feel so much safer. Personally I'd prefer we just banned engines. #
  • The handyman from Beven and Brock was a sociology major, liked the play Copenhagen, and also metaphysical quantum mechanics… #
  • I realized today that my black bike actually makes me want to dress up when I ride it. #
  • Is Facebook really censoring a NYTimes article about gay marriage in DC? Or is a link-shortening glitch? http://nyti.ms/crWznQ #
  • Saying goodbye to the Internet for about 10 days. I'm sure it will be fine without me. #

  • Rode up the toll road into the clouds, home before the rain, squeezed oranges, chicken soup, talked science, society, shared spaces. #
  • Given 2 simultaneous deadlines, is it better to work on both things in parallel, or serially? I wish I knew. #
  • Hallelujah, my thesis is now findable via Google Scholar! It must really exist if Google knows about it: http://bit.ly/bEqXSF #
  • Oh Amtrak, I would gladly accept your slowness if you were convenient and comparable in price to Southwest Airlines, but you are not. #
  • Made (dumpster) banana bread w/ zest from (salvaged) naranjas agrias, and flaxseed. Breakfast for before climate and media talk tomorrow. #
  • Made a poster for a conference I'm not going to. Working on my talk for next week. This retirement seems a little bit like employment… #
  • Pasadena Babalon was good. A kind of Caltech/JPL/Pasadena folk art/history. We need more of that kind of thing. #
  • Laid low all day long by some stupid stomach bug. Now missing @CICLEorg party too :( #

  • Spoke-n-Art ride was great. Bought 2 Mayan posters, 3 tacos. The Propaganda Porteur served me well, dumpster chicken, ganja in San Marino. #
  • Signal lost. Searching… #
  • RT @AlexSteffen: Why Bill Gates' #TED talk was the most important environmental statement of the year so far: http://bit.ly/9NfKsM #
  • If only I had a network cable, I could play some music to drown out the screaming Asian couple next door while I napped. Ah, technology. #
  • Dressed up like someone who's trying to look like a science geek. #
  • Just found the last bits of my Dr. Science: Uncertified Financial Planner costume, outfit, thing. I'm so not ready for a job interview yet. #
  • I'm apparently closer than I thought to being officially persona non grata at Caltech. What can I say? After 17 years, it's about time! #
  • The first of a few posts on my Retirement Investing for Scientists and Engineers talk: http://bit.ly/cyA2gh #
  • Hmm. Caltech Social Science PhD student who interned at the Fed is coming to my retirement investing talk. But then, what did I expect? #
  • Multitasking is so not my strong point. Maybe I need to get in touch with my feminine side. #
