I think the #LIRR strike was basically like undoing #CongestionPricing. My kids' bus has returned to taking 1.5 hours each way rather than 45-60mins.
Now that the strike is over, let's hope traffic returns to normal. It would be a great time to raise the congestion prici…

Two days of cutting and cleaving firewood. The DOMS is less agonising than I thought it would be. Maybe that's the paracetamol talking, but it's nice to be able to move and do things and only feel like I've been hit by one bus.
I have rarely loved my desk as much as I do today, though. #author

It somehow saves me $32 to BART to Richmond instead of taking the bus connector to Oakland? I could see that making sense if it was mid-line, but it's not like they are going to sell that seat from OAK to Richmond.

APT36: A Nightmare of Vibeware
I'd like to thank my coauthors Adrian Schipor, Victor Vrabie, Marius Baciu, and Martin Zugec for their invaluable contributions to this research.

A cloudy morning turned into a beautiful spring like afternoon. After a routine dental check up, I went out for a photo walk. Had a very pleasant walk from Hammersmith to Barnes along the river. Then a bus into Richmond and a beer or two in a riverside pub. Life is good.

With the eight week improv course ending last week, I timed it well to start a new group with a new set of eight sessions this week.
The Free Association seem more serious than Hoopla. They have 50% longer classes for a start. Three hours rather than two.
More instruction and notes rather than just positive encouragement. Clearer aim even from the early levels. More like a classroom than a playground.
First couple of sets of eight at Hoopla are just aimed at getting you to lose your decorum and allow yourself to be free and spontaneous. All really short form games, lightning rounds. Parlor games rather than theater.
But the Free Association's aim from the start is to get you building scenes and then stories. Their first set of lessons is titled "intro to long form". This one "Scene work".
Not so much the one minute parlor games, more focus on acting and characters and drama.
In vague terms at early stages that is. I mean, they have more in common than different. Plenty of short games in warm-up at FA and I just finished a whole set on drama and story with Hoopla.
Three hours is pretty long though. Starts half an hour earlier, ends half an hour later. Good thing it's also much much closer for me. Ten minute walk instead of 40 minutes on the bus.
We did lots and lots of first-scene head-to-head, mostly concentrating on trying to get specific. Check that after two minutes the audience knows where you are and who you are and how you know each other and what you're doing and none of the players are unsure either. Make it all specific as soon as possible, ambiguity is the enemy.
And everyone got that and exercised it pretty much flawlessly right away. So good group.

Just looking at their brochure for their lineup of new buses.
