I like public transit, urban design, computers, theology, and rap music, and seek to use all five for the glory of God. (Current job: transit planner.)

Also I know that tweet came out of nowhere. I cut back heavily on Twitter about a year ago because I was compulsively trying to read every tweet. Now I check the "Home" tab maybe 2-5 times a week. Much healthier mentally, but also fewer chances to share interesting things.

This video tour of Deutsche Bahn's new Wendlingen-Ulm line is a great overview of design considerations for a modern high-speed rail segment. And relaxing to watch besides! (There are English captions) https://t.co/s7VyyIYa56

Get the birds eye view of #CharlotteGatewayStation progress!

We can't wait for @Panthers� and @KnightsBaseball ⚾ to be just blocks away. #Charlotte

One of my favorite scientific figures is this one of the entropy levels of 100 world cities by the orientation of streets. The cities with most ordered streets: Chicago, Miami, & Minneapolis. Most disordered: Charlotte, Sao Paulo, Rome & Singapore. Paper: https://t.co/DTd5JiahmF

Thanks to our friends from @Framemakers_inc for helping preserve early @chtransit route maps and schedules for future generations to enjoy. #SupportLocalBusinesses #ChapelHill

Five buses on @GoDurhamTransit Route 5 (Fayetteville St-NCCU-Southpoint), providing service every 15 minutes. This may be the most buses GoDurham has ever run on a single service pattern at once!

#NorthCarolina will soon own the rail line that follows U.S. 1 north from downtown #RaleighNC. #trains #NCDOT

Did you know? 💡

When the male cardinal is caring for his family, his bright red color will often change to a dull shade of brown as camouflage to protect the young. 🐦

Happy Father's Day! ❤️ #RaleighParks #FathersDay

Why are many white, conservative Christians calling for racial justice? Didn't we end discrimination years ago? This week I produced a video that packs 100 years of racial history into 17 minutes. I hope it helps make sense of all this! https://t.co/G4Wa9RuxAS via @YouTube

We have liftoff. History is made as @NASA_Astronauts launch from @NASAKennedy for the first time in nine years on the @SpaceX Crew Dragon:

I don't know the "Metropolitan" tune on page 217, but you can sing this hymn to "Auld Lang Syne" and it works. Happy Easter!

"From Out the Tomb the Saviour Comes," an Easter hymn by Benjamin Tucker Tanner (1835–1923), a bishop in the A.M.E. & one of the most accomplished African American theologians:

Reminder that in the OT being a set-up and teardown guy was a holy privilege. That's a whole new light on the ministry of folding chairs.

You never realize how much you touch your face until everyone tells you not to touch your face.

But now is a really good time to get used to not touching your face.

[Matthew Frazier @LeafStorm]

@jdttransit Though the best solution would be interagency coordination of issue reports. Like, if you called NCDOT about a pothole on a municipal street, they could just file a ticket with the relevant municipality, or vice versa.

[Matthew Frazier @LeafStorm]

@jdttransit In Morrisville street signs are marked "Town" (blue), "State" (white), or "Pvt" (yellow). They aren't the prettiest signs IMO but they do make it clear which is which. (Except that they aren't on the mast arm signs for traffic signals.)

@DurhamComplete @DavidFellerath The TouchPass system doesn't require passengers' phones to support NFC. Passengers install the TouchPass app, which displays a QR Code that they present to the reader on the bus. (The reader does read smart cards using NFC.)

@RaleighBikeLady @dtraleigh @wiggitywack @VeloRaleigh @Sigmandis @JWDemby @NathanSpencer @ashtonmae @inboundraleigh Cool! I'll plan to be there too!

Are there any urbanist/civic geek, non-candidate-affiliated Raleigh election watch parties happening on Tuesday? #ralpol @dtraleigh @wiggitywack @RaleighBikeLady @VeloRaleigh @Sigmandis @JWDemby @NathanSpencer @ashtonmae

[Matthew Frazier @LeafStorm]

Hey @chtransit @CHTDirector I think one of your buses is a little lost. The tailsign said HS, perhaps they think it stands for Hillsborough Street? ;-)
