| Milestone |
| 10.31.05 (6:52 am) [edit] |
That's milestone, not 'millstone.' A milestone is something like
"Over 10,000 visitors since July 25, 2005"
Whereas an example of a millstone is *** ******.
Erratum: 10070 visitors since July 25, 2005

| Never Mind The ***, Here's PRT |
| 10.22.05 (5:54 am) [edit] |
A Mr. Jonathan Rotten of the United Kingdom (actually reader Ryan Kennedy) contributes these lyrics, to the tune of everyone's favorite punk anthem (sorry, certain bad words are BLEEPed):
PRT in the UK
Rrright.... NOWWW! hahahaha,
He thinks it's the anti-christ.
He thinks it's anti-trans-iite
He thinks it's all a bunch of sh-iite.
He don't know what he wants but he knows it ain't gadgetbahn
He wanna DESTROY passer-by.
But I..... I wanna be... PRT
In the city!
PRT for the UK, it's coming sometime maybe
Get there the wrong time it don't stop the traffic line... unlike LRT
Your future dream is a beam above the street
Cos I...
I wanna beeee PRT!
In the city!
It's the only way to be!
How many ways to get where you want?
I use the best, BLEEPuse's the rest that's second best.
I use BLEEP's enemy, I use... P! R! T! cos I.....
I wanna BE... PRT
In the city!
Follow me!
Is this the ATRA?
Or is this the U.L.T.R.A.?
Or is this the T2C?
I thought it was the UK, or just....
another country.....
another council tendency
And III wanna beee....PRT!
And IIII wanna beeeeeee......PRT!
And IIIIIII wanna beeeeeee........PRT!
It's the only way to be!
And I wanna beeee gadgetist!
Get this? Employ!

| Let's Be Disruptive! |
| 10.04.05 (8:10 am) [edit] |
One of *** ******'s Talking Points is that PRT isan excuse by pro-highway/anti-transit Republicans... to block funding for [conventional transit]. This is why, perhaps, Taxi 2000/Skyweb Corporation's leader, Ed Anderson, refers to PRT as a "disruptive technology". Source
He thinks "disruptive" means destructive. But it's been well documented, here and elsewhere, how *** doesn't understand what the term means—basically, enter the market at a low level, then move 'up.'.
And here's another example of someone who DOES understand it: National Geographic--
If prices continued to drop, solar cells might change the whole idea of energy by making it cheap and easy for individuals to gather for themselves. That's what techies call a "disruptive technology."
"Automobiles were disruptive to the horse and buggy business," [PowerLight Corp.'s] Dan Shugar says. "PCs were disruptive to the typewriter industry. We believe solar electric systems will be disruptive to the energy industry." Source: "Future Power," National Geographic, Aug. 2005
We can find a parallel in ***'s position in Google. He's been so busy cruising the internet, posting links to his own web pages in blogs and discussion forums, that if you Google "PRT," *** is in the first page of results. That is a strong 'market' position. So, PRT supporters, let's practice some disruption of our own, and move the targets of ***'s hate 'up market.' Do it by visiting these PRT-friendly sites and URLs as much as you can, every day:
:: "PRT Is a Joke" Is a Joke!
:: Skyweb Express
:: Citizens For PRT
:: ULTra
:: Councilman Dean Zimmermann
:: Dean Zimmermann Fact Sheet
:: Dean Zimmermann on Minnesota Public Radio
:: Interview with David Tilsen of Zimmermann For Justice (.rm)
:: Get There Fast Seattle PRT site
:: Get On Board! PRT Seattle PRT site
