Testing 1-2-3 ... Is this mike working?
If anybody is listening, I'm frustrated (and somewhat worried) by ZipCar's handling -- or lack thereof -- of potentially serious maintenance issues.
I use the same car frequently (weekly!). For the past fe...

Why I think shared resources kick ass
This is a repost from my blog that I made last week regarding an experience with Philly Car Share (whom I heart). I'm working really hard to get PCS involved with the Philadelphia Coworking initiative for a number of reasons..some of which I outline. So here it goes:

Ditch the Clutter: Why Buy When You Can Borrow?
to make owning a car not only unnecessary but undesirable. I've mentioned here that instead of owning a car, my husband and I walk, bike, and take public transit. But for the times we need to leave town or haul something big, we have a Zip Car membership. Susanna from Cheap Like Me has written a comprehensive post about car-sharing, how it works, and how much money we can save through borrowing instead of buying. In " Car sharing - borrow your second (or first!) car," she says: For people who only usZip Car coming to Shilshole ?
I don’t know but I’m trying to make it happen! If you’re not familiar with Zip Car they’re a car rental service focused on people who have fewer or no cars but occasionally need a car. I think the Shilshole Bay Marina is a great candidate for such a service. 99% of the time I ride my scooter and Dawn has the car.

See Jules. See Jules drive.
See the 59th Street Bridge.
Drive, Jules, carefully!
Found myself thwarted all day. All my expectation, all my attempts at productivity, shattered by circumstance. From the beginning, it was just one of those days... though at the end, I managed to accomplish something—I carried 7 boxes, a lamp and a painting back up into the new apartment from my parents' house. At least physical exhaustion dampens despair.
In other news, Julie did excellent driving from Manhattan to Queens!
Plus dinner with my parents was really nice. They gave me a whole series of recipes/Taiwanese-cooking-techniques that I'm supposed to employ now that we have our own place, and—before too long—another mouth to feed. We'll see how that goes...
