The multi-talented Jeff Hibbard - An example to emulate

Jeff Hibbard  is a gem. A gentleman in the social media ( doesn't imply others aren't :) ) I mean when he is around there is nothing but positiveness in his talk. He is very helpful and a very nice guy to  talk to. Passionate about social media.   here is a imaginary interview with Jeff Hibbard. Kindly note that there is not even a shred of truth in these answers and they are a figment of my imagination. Q) Jeff why do you go around the beltway with a camera in your truck? A: This is part of a grand plan that involves a multi-million dollar project. In future the traffic in the beltway will only worsen. I am now getting familiar with the mobile video blogging technology and the plan to montezie my technology is 2 fold : I will then sell my expertise to one of the Big 3 US auto firms and they will include the video blogging as part of the standard package and that will enable them to beat the Japanese car makers. The idea is that if you car breaks down or if you...

Ride-On Bus Route 37 is saved - Congrats to the Community & Roger Berliner

I got this email from the office of the Montgomery County Council member to whom i had written about saving Route 37. I am delighted to announce that County Executive Leggett has revised his Ride-On Proposed 2008 Savings Plan, and he will no longer be canceling Bus Route 37 in Potomac.  It will run at a reduced frequency of 30 minute intervals, effective May 5, 2008.  For all the reasons that each of you communicated to me, I felt that it was very important that this route be retained, and I’m pleased that our County Executive heard our call and responded appropriately. Roger Berliner See my last post on the subject of Route 37.

Community Unites to Fight for Bus Route 37

I had written a post here on the Montgomery County Maryland cutting down the bus route No 37 which among others served a school. In the Washington Post outlook Section today Adam Garfinkle wrote a article on "the No. 37 Bus Uprising" . I learnt from this article that in order to mobilize the community a new blog was started http://rideon37.blogspot.com/ ;The gazeete newspaper also carried an article "Bus riders beg to save Ride On routes" written by by Audrey Dutton I hope the county listens to the community.

Cubicle Pranks and Productivity

How To Win A Cubical War Watch more DIY videos on 5min.com   I got this link on Twitter from @jowyang Jeremiah Owyang . Its worth the 5 minutes. I have a few cubicle wars and they involved wrapping the whole cube, tin foil, changing the direction of the cube and of course the popular filling the cube with packing bits. In this video the company is thanked for having a sense of humor but its not identified.   Pros: I am sure there was enough supervision to make sure productivity was not affected. The buddies shared he cost ( must be expensive) Cons probably  no fire code violation. Now sometimes if the person gets offended then that stops all future pranks.   The question I have is : Should the company have identified itself ? This is the kind of video that can spread virally. Would it help the company to identify itself ? Please comment and give me your opinion. Also look at the comments on the original video post and you will se...

Blog Post from Acela on the way to New York

I am not a seasoned train traveler even though I love trains. I learnt my lesson a year ago when my 2 trips to New York by flight had resulted in a overnight stay due to canceled flights. In desperation I took Amtrak back to Washington DC. This trip I did not even attempt to book a flight. I left my house at 4 a.m for the Union station. My train was at 6 a.m. Without traffic and a very clear George Washington Parkway I reached Union Station parking at 4.40 a.m. By the time I went down 3 levels it was 5 minutes. The ticket machine recognized my card and easily printed the tickets. Now people who know me know I am an adventurer but not a avid risk taker but still decided to see if I could catch the 5 a.m. I asked the smiling lady at the gate what it would take to catch the earlier train. She directed me to the ticket window. I was second in line and the gentleman said it wouldn't be a problem and that I had enough time to make it to the train. I paid the $21 dollars to change the r...

Get more Teenagers on the Road - Montgomery County to stop Bus route to School

The newspaper headline said " Another teen dies in a crash" . It was very sad and to read this. People should understand that having a efficient public transport system will make lives better for everyone and there will not be any freedom lost.In fact there will be a lot of gain in time. So it frustrates me to read that the County is thinking of stopping a bus service that some students use. I got this from the PTA. As you may know, Montgomery County budget constraints are threatening some Ride On bus routes. One of the affected routes is #37, which has a stop at Tuckerman and Gainsborough. Route #37 runs between Grosvenor Metro stop and Potomac Community Center. This bus operates on Monday to Friday peak hours only (6:17am - 9:57am/ 3:49pm - 7:50pm). Churchill students who stay after school might rely on this bus for after-school transportation. Montgomery County hereby notifies the general public and other interested parties that a public forum will be held on Monday, ...

LauraK - Raising Funds for Breast Cancer

I met LauraK on Twitter. She is always full of humor and we have had many great conversations. When I heard about her efforts to raise funds for cancer I asked her for details. She was kind enough to send me an email. I keep reading the email over and over again and to do justice to the emotions that flow while reading the story I have to reproduce it as is here. Laura Has given me permission. If you wish you can donate to her Cancer walk When Fluffy was born, my aunt Doreen was pregnant with her youngest (a surprise for her as the others were 10 and 13 then). My youngest cousin is therefore two months younger than my own daughter. When the girls were still toddlers, Doreen was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a partial mastectomy shortly thereafter. When the girls were 10, Doreen was diagnosed with cancer again, both in her breasts and in her spine. Surgery and treatment were unsuccessful, and the cancer spread to her brain. There were more surgeries, even gamma-knife tre...
