Friday, November 14th, 2008

As I was walking with BD and RY down King on the way to our regular Friday lunch spot, we hit the Calhoun/King Street intersection that seems to consistently have 20mph winds rocketing down the street towards the water. In light of Santee Cooper’s recent announcement that they will begin installing testing stations for [...]

Just Add Water

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Joined the Park(ing) Day gang this morning to help set up the mini parks downtown by Charleston’s Market.. In just an hour things transformed from a boring slab of asphalt to an urban oasis featuring a music stage, sunflower garden, farmer’s market, mini dog park (for mini dogs), green car and ping pong park. Here’s [...]

It includes a cover photo of David Lee and his shiny grill, some perspective from friend Tom Bradford at Charleston Moves and some great quotes from friend/client/advocate/bikelawyer Peter Wilborn from SC Bike Law.

Carbon-Neutral Air Travel With Derrie-Air

Friday, June 6th, 2008

It was only a matter of time until someone stepped up and offered a guilt-free way to fly. A new airline called Derrie-Air bills itself as the “world’s only carbon-neutral luxury airline.”
To quote from the site:

Bike Share System

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Came across this nice bike sharing system concept from Continuum. It’s an unmanned, self-service kiosk that allows you to swipe a public transit smart card and grab a bike. It’s nice and urban compact….14 bicycles racked on the station occupy the same amount of space as a parking space for one car. And solar energy [...]

There’s No “My” In “We”

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

It’s about time that all the internet-related “my” hype dies. Isn’t the “Me Decade” supposed to be over? Wasn’t that the 80s or 90s? Together, WE can end the MYbrandname.com trend. It’s not really just your brand anyway, is it?
So, here’s to more “we” in our lives. We = community, connections, social networks, etc. [...]

Morning Commute in Charleston

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Being the first day of Spring…and such a nice day at that…decided to share the joy the daily pedal to work. Very lucky to be able to ride back and forth in this amazing downtown. Now if we could get some bike lanes, please. You will notice that one segment along East Bay shows the [...]
