Hey, riding bikes are fine, I do it all the time. But you know what. The sidewalks are usually pretty empty. You won't get hit there, and when you get home to your car (yes almost all of you including me have one). You can actually drive your retired mom and your kid around. Get real, Seattle, quit taking away lanes and creating traffic!

That's cool, good work guys! $56 million is worth it, sometimes you have to invest in people and PR, not just technology.

Feb 12, 2012 NIO commented on Pina Is Dead, Long Live Pina.

I saw this film and couldn't stand it. I love Wim Wenders and was really disappointed. I didn't know anything of who Pina was, and that was the problem, I looked up on Wikipedia after the film was over more about it (he doesn't really give any history or feedback). What really sucks about it is all the talking. If it were just dance and conceptually and story-lined in I would have been happy, but I was like, why am I not just at a dance performance? When reading about what happened, I understood better. She died within five days of being diagnosed with cancer and they were to begin filming the next week for the film, et voila! So, instead of making a film of her life it's like a testimonial speeches (he uses a cliche of them not actually talking, just looking pretty while their voices are saying something), about how great she was and how she didn't really say much. So, as an uniformed end user (I think all good movies/art shouldn't require a foreknowledge of the story in order for it to be good), this film sucks. If you love Modern Dance and this choreographer it might be worth it as there are some good scenes and concepts and cinematography, but you have to suffer a lot for the good stuff, not what I was expecting from one of my favorite directors. As my wife said, all the best parts were in the 1 minute trailer. Watch that, you won't regret it!

Even if it's 6-3, the big money will buy the votes. Democracy is an illusion that we influence, not decide.

Thank goodness, I only go from lower Queen Anne to Downtown occasionally, but so many people would get in and totally bog it down on 3rd Ave once it began, it was horrible, won't miss it at all. I hope it makes the buses faster. They should put 15 & 18 back on 1st, 3rd Avenue is Stop Sign/Stop Light HELL on a bus!

Aug 15, 2011 NIO commented on You'll Be Asked to Pay up to $100 More in Car Tab Fees.

The problem with the $80 is the 50% that goes to dedicated "transit corridors" what this means is that they will take away lanes from cars a la Elliot/15th Ave. for no good reason. It creates gridlock for no reason (except to get people used to it and putting in a stupid track instead of a bus.) It's ridiculous. Go to Vancouver and see all the three lanes in both directions synchronized care and transit solutions. Seattle needs to look at big cities not little ones and trying to crush cars is NOT the solution.
