In my country there is problem,
And that problem is transport.
It take very very long,
Because Kazakhstan is big.

Throw transport down the well
So my country can be free
We must make travel easy
Then we'll have a big party

(Thanks to Borat for the tune)

Well, I’m glad I don’t live in Kazakhstan and I do live in Denver. This week I decided, since my car is still in the shop (longest repair ever), to start taking public transport…light rail to be exact. And guess what? I really like it. The trains run on time, they are pretty quick, and not having to drive really cuts out stress.

I think the best part about riding public transport (aside from saving the environment, yada, yada) is that I get to listen to a bunch of podcasts on the way to work. One podcast I checked out today and really enjoyed was the Shoemoney show where he interviewed Matt Mullenweg, the founder of Wordpress. Matt is a really smart and seemingly down to earth guy who just happened to create one of the most popular blogging platforms in the world. Way to go Matt – and happy 23rd birthday tomorrow.
