Public transit has the potential to be awesome, moving us around our city quickly and easily. But sometimes it really sucks. Buses are never on time, routes can be unfamiliar, and connections are difficult. On the other hand, taxis are too expensive, hard to find and there is no easy way to share a ride with other users. The latest evolutions in transportation provide enough data to plan and develop new mobile apps, where no operative intervention of dispatchers (or other external agents) is req …

Let's face it, after two wineries you can easily blow a DUI. If you like to frequent wine country the way we do, this is a major factor that requires forethought to every tasting trip. My group is designed to put likeminded people together, visiting Napa, Sonoma, etc. in a fun manner but someone needs to be the sober skipper. Meet new friend …

A club is all about getting to know people who share common interests and can form …
