Wow, it's been a while since my last post. I've been enjoying my full weeks at Reebok. I've been teaching myself Applescript to help automate their workflow, which is very rewarding because of the endless possibilities of it's capabilities coupled with its English-based scripting language. As I plug away at learning the Applescript, I am excited to be able to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks (and the possibility of human error that goes hand in hand with that). (I also have fallen in love with the facilities and work atmosphere there that encourage commuting to work by bike and group training during lunch. In addition, the cafeteria food is fantastic, and quite reasonably priced!)

In addition, I've still been riding to a fro on the weekends. This, paired with biking to work one day per week, has helped keep my gas consumption down to about one tank per two weeks! Currently, my car is parked about a mile from my house, which certinately influences my decisions between biking and driving to my weekend destinations. I am also looking to join up with local ride-share and carpooling networks to reach my goal of carpooling or biking at least 2 days per week. (OK, ideally, I'd bike everyday...)

On a related note, check out MIT's solution to the polluting gridlock that is driving in Boston. A good bit of the blog's comments are also insightful and address key points about bringing this concept car onto the streets.
