Let’s begin that way today. I have seen A.J. Foyt beating on the rear wing of his car with a hammer. “It’s the longest 10 miles of your life.” – James Hinchcliffe INDIANAPOLIS – Well, only if you were in a Lotus, James. Or a Honda, even.  

What I wrote about this from another thread: Most rapid transit systems have been built around providing a fast yet local service, since in the early 20th century city driving was not very common. This means the stops tend to be about 1/2 mile apart, or about a 10 minute walk in between stations. In the 70s-80s the trend was to space them out to about a mile apart to make them more competitive with suburban driving and highways, though in...  

Wow... I am shocked! An article by Sue-Ann Levy that is actually reads like a professional columnist rather than the rantings of an internet forum troll?!? There is a little bit of personal commentary, but no more than you would expect from any other columnist writing an opinion piece. Though it looks very nice outside today, I'm just going to step out to make sure that Hell hasn't frozen over.  

Does long-form journalism have an audience even at BuzzFeed, the place where 33 animals are extremely disappointed in you? The site's editor, Ben Smith, has found that it does. Now, how about that BuzzFeed book? Can length go viral? And does it matter?  

It will never happen, but I would like to see some of our subway and GO stations relocated to facilitate better connections. For example, imagine if when you got off the subway at Main, Dundas West, or Leslie transferring to a GO train would be as seamless as going up a set of stairs and changing platforms. Another more realistic option could be running TTC buses which run directly into GO stations, and are scheduled to connect with the...  

I recently invested in two companies whose founders either had little interest in school as students or who dropped out of grad school: MixRank and Influitive. Both management teams are driven, hard working and well prepared for the difficult road of creating a business from scratch.

Ben T. Smith IV, the co-founder and former CEO of MerchantCircle, is moving back into an operational role by taking the chief executive job’s at ShopCo. He will also keep his hand in investing as venture partner at the seed firm Accelerator Ventures.  

Kind of disappointed that with the negative opinion of the TTC, there wasn't really any evidence given as to what is wrong. Not that we Torontonians don't know what is wrong, but it would have been nice to have its drawbacks mentioned in order to backup the thesis.  

I've always thought a radio ad campaign by the city/province to remind drivers to watch before they open their car doors would be a great way to ensure that people are cautious about opening their doors when parked on the street. I wonder if electric bikes are popular in Copenhagen or other compact European cities? Granted, as an owner of one, I sometimes wonder if it would have been better to use that money towards a good road/hybrid bike...  

Just wanted to point out that the majority of Vancouver's Skytrain network is constructed from the same technology as the SRT. This proves that the majority* of problems with the SRT comes from its design and implementation rather than its tech. *This does not include the weather, where heavy snow can virtually shut it down. And the cost and maintenance of the trains, but that does not directly affect the passenger experience.  

While Laka's comments were very aggressive and uncalled for, she does make one good point: 30-40 in the suburbs is not going to work. I don't know how they would do it, but in the old city making the non-posted speed 40 while in other areas making it 50 could work. Also, while some short stub streets may have a non-posted limit of 50, the reason for this has more to do with the cost of implementing a speed limit sign on each and every one of...  

***UPDATE: Wanted to highlight a comment left on this piece; an eloquent and insightful analysis of the BuzzFeed article from someone who describes herself as a Mormon and SAHM: I read it and rolled my eyes. I'm a Mormon SAHM. Liberals really want to paint the LDS Church as oppressive but the Church doesn't tell people what to do and expect blind obedience. We are encouraged to pray and seek inspiration for our own lives. Prophets teach the...  

Senior executive changes are happening with increasing frequency in today’s vibrant technology market. Seasoned managers move from one early-stage company to another, and from established companies and venture firms into the startup world. Some of the savviest new-gen Web companies recruit directly from brand name consumer and media outfits.  

The hardest thing for entrepreneurs to do is nothing. These Type A personalities have a deep need to act. But great things don’t come along all that often, and picking projects carefully may be the best advice in today’s excitable technology markets.  

Communities can be among a company’s most potent marketing assets, yet among the most difficult to manage. People say they want one without knowing how to build it, exactly why it is valuable or the lengths they need to go to protect it.
