Never say never, but I have been obsessed with computing the last 29 years of my life (I’m 36 😋). I am sure I would apply to my program at MIT again to write another history of computing… but gee, I owe a chunk of my life quality to Phil Eng now, so I’d probably apply to write the life, origin and miracle of Phil Eng at the #MBTA.

It's one thing to yell at some guy standing in front of a T bus to move; another to threaten him with a knife, police say

Something we never considered when we decided to move from Bostonish to the country was, is there a train nearby? Despite not considering it, we really lucked out. There is. I am so grateful to be near the commuter rail: an hour ride* in no hassle comfort and "boom!" dropped right in the city. No traffic. No search for parking. No stress.
*Only 50 minutes for me as I'm traveling to Somerville/Cambridge. We're also real lucky we're on the line that travels this route. #MBTA #CommuterRail -
It's never a good sign when the train conductor comes on the loudspeaker and says, "Okay, here's the situation...."

Live report from Kendall. There is an #MBTA worker on the inbound track right now and the train announcement is that the next train is one minute away. Why can’t I trust the system, why am I invaded with anxiety and dread

I've noticed that sometimes the new red line trains announce and display the wrong stations. However I can not report this properly because they require me to list all of the wrong stations and train numbers, which I cannot get that information for... However surely many others have tried to report this right?

Hitting a double achievement on the #MBTA today -- traveling backwards (train reversing with passengers on board) while in the lowest numbered car in active service (not the oldest ... The Internet says that's 1616). Supposedly something is under the wheels of a train at Charles ( @universalhub )
