OneBusAway releases a native iPhone app
september 2009 by jimray
If you live in Seattle and ride the bus, you want this app. It's kind of magic how well it works, providing real time data about when your bus is going to actually show up, instead of just when it's supposed to.

september 2008 by jimray
The average cost of repairs is more than $30,000 per unit. Meanwhile, asshole developers made a killing by reducing the number of rental units. It's a lose/lose!

Washington screwed everything up - main points: if a Democrat, you have to caucus because the DNC is counting primary votes. You can register to vote onsite. If you've moved since the last time, go to the polling place for your new address.
