Transit Strike

It's on people and it doesn't impact me one bit. But I feel for everyone else. Here's one of the better suggestions:

6. Doug Gordan Hack for walking Brooklyn Bridge: "have George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" loaded into my iPod. (You may know it as the song that opens Woody Allen's "Manhattan" or from its use in an American Airlines commercial.) If you are walking from Brooklyn, start the song when you are about fifty feet up the walkway from where you can enter at Tillary Street. The song is just over 16 minutes long and if you walk briskly enough you can make it past the bridge's second tower on the Manhattan side and then a little way down the walkway towards City Hall before it ends. It's the perfect remedy to the transit strike blues and brightened my day."

They are calling these transit hacks, how played out can a word be? soon they will have the 'mashup hacks' burger at Bartley's.

More of these can be found here.
