Dan just cited "lower latency" as a reason to eat leftovers in the kitchen instead of going out for food. Wow.

Is it just me or is Biden's stump speech a little painful? Not McCain painful (that would be hard), but needs work Link

Months ago I caught a half-hour NPR interview with Biden and came away impressed. I hope he and Obama won't seem too intellectual/elitist.

Meraki is in the news again, this time for its partnerships with local cafes to expand Free the Net coverage throughout the city:
My tests indicate nodes only take 2 watts, but otherwise the reporter has his facts straight. Ask your favorite caffeine-monger to complete this form to add Meraki to the menu. Every node added will strengthen the mesh and bring closer the goal of ubiquitous free WiFi for all San Franciscans.
For the past several months, Meraki has offered to send free wireless mesh routers to anyone who's within range of the mesh and willing to slap one of the devices in their window or on their roof.
Meraki pays for the connection to the Internet, and you pay for the paltry 3 watts of power that the router consumes. A small price to pay to help turn SF into a place where you can stroll around and freely access the Internet wherever you are, right?
Meraki's latest bid to expand the size of their mesh is a promotion aimed at the city's coffee houses, many of which now pay for Internet access to keep their latte drinkers online and, presumably, poised to order refills.
In exchange for putting a Meraki router into their premises, SF cafes get to dump their Internet access bill, quit worrying about maintaining their networks, and benefit from some free advertising in the little gray bar that appears atop Web pages served through the Meraki network.

George W. Bush Sewage Plant Initiative Makes It On the Ballot as Prop. R
Just as France presented the Statue of Liberty as its gift to the nation, the citizens of San Francisco may now bestow their own special gift to the country by renaming our award winning waste water treatment plant in honor of outgoing President George W Bush. We think this is a fitting memorial for a truly outstanding Commander-in-Chief.

No joke, I was thinking about writing a web app to help analyze diff files. Then I found TextMate's syntax highlighting for diff files. Damn

Just got back from a 3-day backpacking trip in the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Highlights included catching tons of trout in Sullivan Lake, eating John's trail adaptation of tiramisu, and drinking scotch while sitting around the campfire.
Tons of really great photos. I'll post more as they come out of Aperture.
