On Vacation - the Iceberg eNews

2011-03-07T20:19:00.000-08:00

Hello to my subscribers of the Iceberg eNews.

Chances are that you may have even forgotten how this email ends up in your in-box everyday. The truth is that we have a team of monkeys here on a ranch in South Texas who put it together from old magazines... okay, not.

But the Iceberg eNews has decided to go on vacation. It will probably get bored in a few months and come back to work. But for now, we hope that you have enjoyed our free service and have been inspired to do some fun things in Austin.

As always, feel free to be in touch. we can be reached at: atxpress at gmail dot com.

Bon voyage!

Announcement to Subscribers: The Feeds went on Vacation

2011-03-07T20:09:00.000-08:00

Hello again to my subscribers of feeds from TodayinAustin.com.

I have decided to reduce the number of feeds. The only feeds that will continue in the immediate future will be: Today's Events at UT, Planning Ahead, Live Music in the Clubs, and Restaurant - Events, News and Reviews.

Sorry to say, some of you won't be getting news in your current feeds. I hope that you will take a look at the others and give them a try.

As always, there are many pages on www.TodayinAustin.com to enjoy, including a collection of calendars from various art organizations, museums and businesses. Please visit the main site when you need to find interesting things to do... Today in Austin.

Taking a sabbatical - a note from the editor of TodayinAustin.com

2011-03-07T13:36:00.000-08:00

Hello to the passionate followers of TodayinAustin.com. My curiosity about "all things RSS" has evolved to the point where I am ready to launch a new version of the web site.

TodayinAustin2011 is a new test-version of the site. It will continue to deliver high quality content about today's events in Austin. However, I am crafting the new site in a way that will save me lots of time. Instead of reading the hundreds of secondary sources that contribute little, I have focused on including only the best and consistent information sources about Austin's fun events. I will let my automated programs "read" more of the content to determine which events are suitable for the day. The largest category of wonderful event news will be in "Planning Ahead" - but I will not be sorting it by dates and categories any longer.

I'll still be sitting behind the screen here, turning the dials. So if you'd like to be in touch with suggestions, please feel free to email me at atxpress "at" gmail "dot" com.

A last note: this particular feed with "Today's Events" will feature exclusively Today's Events at the University of Texas. If you'd like to receive all of the other events that I've found for Austin, please subscribe to Planning Ahead. If you pop that into Google Reader, you will be happy with the results, I believe.

If you love email, here is the link to receive "Planning Ahead" via email:

Capital Metro MetroRail has created a forum for input from bicyclists

2010-04-29T09:29:00.000-07:00

From the Capital Metro blog:

Capital Metro is assembling a “MetroBikes” stakeholder group, to be led by Ed Easton and John-Michael Cortez, to develop a thorough bicycle management plan. As many of the comments indicated in response to my blog post in March, it’s not very customer-oriented to institute a limit but not also provide better amenities like secure bike parking. So, the goal of this group will be to set priorities, budget and timeline for upgrades to improve bicycle access to both MetroBus and MetroRail.

To read the whole article and more customer comments, see: http://capmetroblog.com/2010/04/28/the-bike-policy/

Word on the street: MetroRail's Stranded Passengers

2010-04-22T15:14:00.000-07:00

Apparently Cap Metro has some kinks in the customer service plan regarding bicycle commuters on the new MetroRail service.

If you are new to MetroRail, here is the description of the new train service from the Cap Metro web site:

MetroRail offers service weekday mornings between the hours of 5:25 and 9:25 a.m. and weekday afternoons between 3:45 and 7:42 p.m. The approximate travel time between Leander and Downtown Austin is one hour.

The schedule options allow riders to arrive and depart downtown Austin at these times:
Arrive Downtown (M-F) 6:27, 7:02, 7:37, 8:12, 8:35, 8:56 am
Depart Downtown (M-F) 3:45, 4:20, 4:55, 5:30, 6:05, 6:40 pm

Cap Metro has been taken by surprise by the number of bicyclists who are riding to and from the train stations and hoping to ride the train. Cyclists have commented on (1) too few bikes permitted on board, (2) lack of secure bike racks at station(s), and (3) infrequent service resulting in customers being stranded at the station. Cap Metro suggests that there are some work-arounds, like finding the nearest bus stop and hoping that when the bus arrives it will have an available slot on its bike rack.

What models do we have for mass transit that is pedestrian and bike friendly? These folks in Boston are a wonderful example of advocacy for pedestrian and bike friendly development: http://livablestreets.info/mission. And this comment on the Cap Metro blog is enlightening:

Couldn’t the wisdom of other cities be considered? Santa Clara has a great system and you can put 4 bikes in their hangers and 2 bikes can stand for a total of 6. They also have a Bike Ways Map. Apparently some genius overlaid the streets, the train tracks and stations and the bike paths and safe streets together and developed a map. The schedule is very frequent also; http://www.vta.org/schedules/SC_901NO_WK.html

Here's my feedback: A customer service problem results from customer's expectations. If you expect to be able to roll your bike onto the train, you plan your day accordingly. I suggest a reservation system that will allow a rider to reserve a bike slot. Or Cap Metro could install a real-time monitoring and announcement system to report how many bikes are currently on the train. It will be interesting to see if Cap Metro can solve this problem.

If you would like to read the thread of customer feedback regarding stranded bicyclists attempting to ride the train, here's the link:
http://capmetroblog.com/2010/03/26/bikes-bikes-and-more-bikes/

4/23 blog post addition: More criticism surfaces today with article "CapMetro blasted in state report" from the Austin Business Journal.

Crashing SXSW: How to get a single advance ticket to see a film

2010-03-12T07:58:00.000-08:00

The protocol for admission to SXSW films has gotten easier for folks (like us) without a badge or pass.

If you would like to purchase a single ticket in advance for a screening in this year's SXSW Film Festival 2010, you can go to the Paramount Theatre's box office between Monday - Saturday, Noon - 5:30 pm, and prepay for a film screening (with a few film exceptions) for $12 per ticket. To call the box office, try: (512) 472-5470.

I went ahead and created a list of all of the movies eligible for this pre-purchase: http://my.sxsw.com/user/schedule/dprechter

If you end up unable to use the ticket because the film becomes "sold out" to pass and badge holders, they will refund your money.
