I recently discovered the Seattle Transit Blog and it is great. Today Martin summarized a podcast by Atlantic writer Megan McArdle about national transportation planning. In my 3rd year without an automobile mass transit is a subject near and dear to my heart and I follow the movements of Sound Transit and Pierce Transit closely. The article discusses an element of Puget Sound region mass transit that I’ve always felt but never vocalized. From Martin’s post:

transit here is not viewed as something that just poor people take.

There is an application on Facebook called “Compare People.” My comparisons showed up in my inbox today and apparently I among my friends am:

• The Hardest Studier
• The Most Punctual
• The Best Listener
• The Best at Science
• The Most Reliable

I am not:

• The Coolest
• The person with the Best Profile Picture
• The Funniest
• The Craziest
• The Happiest

The sample size was pretty small. A lot of the questions only one person had input on my qualities. I guess since I aspire to be a geek the qualities that I was identified with make sense. I think I’m pretty happy though. What did we ever do without Facebook? (tongue firmly in cheek)
