Does this happen to anyone but me? You're listening to your "Added today" playlist in iTunes when midnight strikes and *boom* ...silence...

My burrito tonight cost $5, plus my bike light, which was stolen while I ordered. The verdict? Worth every penny.

There's nothing like reading an old letter to remind yourself what a huge twit you used to be.

I love NYT interactive graphics. This one about finding/recovering the jet engine in the Hudson is no exception: Link

"Huzzah! President Barack Obama has been sworn in," begins an email from Yelp sent at 3:36 this morning. Did they assume we'd all sleep in?

Who's coming with me to Civic Center tomorrow morning to watch the inauguration? Link
NYT: Stand Ins
Dear San Francisco friends! Tomorrow morning we get a new president, and what better way to watch the inauguration than in Civic Center with thousands of your fellow San Franciscans? The show starts at seven(!!) but Obama swears in and delivers his speech at nine.

Attendance is free but the event organizers ask that you bring socks or underwear to donate (unworn, please).

Give me a call or shoot me an e-mail if you want to go together.

I've worn shorts to work this entire week and, while amazing at noon, their practicality greatly diminishes just...around...now.

Nice article involving Meraki on CNet today. Focuses on OneEconomy, a company using our gear for low-income housing. Link

Amused that searching for "Sangala" on news.google.com produces only reviews of the newest season of "24".
I was happy to see this article show up on CNET today. It talks about some new projects OneEconomy is deploying using Meraki's mesh technology:

"With other wireless gear you needed a technician to set up and maintain the network," he said. "But Meraki access points just plug in and work. And the online dashboard allows Web-based monitoring that's simple to use," [says David McConnell, senior vice president of access service at OneEconomy].

The reduced equipment and maintenance costs mean that OneEconomy can serve more low-income families. OneEconomy can also pass on the savings to the individuals it serves, reducing the cost of its broadband service by about 75 percent. This means that instead of charging $20 or $30 for Internet service, the group is able to charge low-income residents only $5 or $7 per month for service.

I also liked this part at the bottom:

While Meraki's mission is not necessarily to bring broadband to low-income people, the inexpensive and easy to use nature of its products make it an ideal partner for organizations, such as OneEconomy, that are trying to bridge the digital divide. And as the new presidential administration takes office and plans for universal broadband access take shape, Meraki could find itself being used in even more communities to provide low-cost broadband access.
Woop woop! We're ready when you are, Mr. President.

Amazed that at 50% off, Sunday-only delivery of the NYT still costs $3.40/week. No wonder print media is doomed. Link
