[BONUS VIDEO] Riding Oakland's TEMPO With Ren Fitzgerald and Darrell Owens
Added 2026-02-03 23:06:07 +0000 UTCAlright, so I needed to throw something together quickly since I'll be off the continent, and I may have stumbled across a backdoor pilot for a podcast? On the other hand I have no time for anything, but this was a lot of fun either way! Hope you enjoy, and sorry I'm a couple days late.

Back about 20 years ago, I was part of something in Portland called Free Geek, which you might have heard about. It was a computer recycling and education project, and it was members of the community working towards ecumenical goals in a fun and tangible way. The entire bench construction project reminds me of what that was like: a tangible project that can start from square zero without having to get too organized or make an ideological statement. It is the type of thing I really like, even as I wonder if is adequate to the world we live in today.

2026-02-05 21:50:36 +0000 UTC@35:50 Caltrain has a zone-based system and still offers monthly passes, BART does not. Even Amtrak Capitol Corridor offers monthly passes!

2026-02-04 18:44:43 +0000 UTCHow was the overall experience with AC transit. Did you get a chance to try much of the network outside Tempo? I love the east bay so much but haven't had much experience with transit on that side of the bay outside of BART and County Connection.

2026-02-04 01:07:12 +0000 UTCI had to throw it together in a really short amount of time! We probably should've taken a photo on the bus.
