MUSINGS OF ME

Traffic, Transit, Technology & Tea

Welcome to my blog where I share musings on transportation, urban planning, technology trends, and the joys of a good cup of tea. As a keen observer of urban evolution, I delve into the intricate relationships between traffic patterns, public transit systems, and the urban fabric they serve. From analyzing new infrastructure projects to examining emerging technologies that shape mobility solutions, this blog explores the complexities and challenges of modern cities.

Whether discussing the latest gadgets, software advancements, or ethical considerations of new tech, these reflections aim to spark thought-provoking discussions. Occasionally, I’ll indulge in my appreciation for tea.

As I navigate the intersections of traffic, transit, technology, and the occasional tea break, I offer a unique perspective shaped by personal experiences and a passion for understanding the world around us. And every now and then, I’ll venture into the realm of GIS, pondering its potential to map our way to a more efficient and connected future—because, as any Starfleet officer would tell you, knowing your coordinates is half the journey.

The web is evolving. Are you ready?
