New Project Manager

by Francisco 14. March 2011 07:12
My name is Francisco Gonzalez and I am the new Project Manager for YspaceSMC that will bring back the healthy and safe living within our communities. I was born and raised in the North Fair Oaks area of Redwood City. Some people might call it the ghetto and many people have misconceptions about it being unsafe or a gang area. Despite all the rumors North Fair Oaks is my life and also my home.

I am currently a student at San Francisco State University majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in child development. I am very active within my community and volunteer as a coach for local AYSO soccer team and little league baseball team. Besides being a coach, I also play many sports that include baseball and soccer. I have worked with the youth for about 10 years now and now it is a privilege to bring my experience here to the YspaceSMC team to help our Redwood City communities have the same safe and healthy fun I had when I was growing up.

I am very passionate about what I do and I finish everything I start. This new project will not be completed with me alone. I will need the help of everyone to bring back our communities. I believe that everyone should have a say in what our communities will look like. I am open to all ideas and I will listen to everyone though, the hardest part is making sure everyone has a voice. I look forward to meeting a lot of new people and working with people who have the motivation to become a leader within our community.

If you guys have any questions for me or would like to come in a see our plan and goals for this year please feel free to e-mail me at kiko2124@gmail.com.  I hope to work with all of you and let the change begin and we bring back a healthy and safe community together.

Piano Stairs?

by admn39 13. November 2009 06:52

Jenny here again and with something very interesting.  Check out this link to a video on YouTube.  In the video, people make the stairs to the subway into a piano.  Yes, a piano.  Crazy, right? 

The reason they did this is to see if more people would use the stairs, instead of the escalator, if it was fun to do. The result...66% more people used the stairs instead of the escalator.  So I wonder, if you see something like this, would you use the stairs or an escalator? 

If you had the opportunity to change a boring everyday task into something fun, what would you do?  Comment and tell us your ideas for our county.
