Bit Bucket: Parking Meters with Stickers →
tbridge:
rartastic replied to your photo: Meters (Taken with instagram)
How do the parking meter checkers know that you’ve paid if you pay with your phone?
Great question. They’ve got hand-held machines to produce the tickets, and they’re supposed to check your license plate against…
What bums me out (but doesn’t really surprise me) is that the mobile app has gone from letting you...

– Regulate (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via tbridge)
Why no, I didn’t just buy this off iTunes when I stopped laughing at the Wikipedia entry.
In an unrelated note, the track is only $0.99 off the Above the Rim soundtrack, versus $1.29 off Warren G’s album…

We had a similar problem here with all the snow last winter. The old-style traffic signals were replaced by more energy-efficient LED signals. On the surface, it seemed like a good deal — better for the environment and more...

Réveille mon âme (Awake my soul) - Mumford & Sons, La Blogotheque
This is wonderful.
I justify keeping XM because it exposes me to new music, like Mumford & Sons. I like Pandora, but I’m not comfortable trusting it to expose me to things that are a little outside its algorithmic boundaries.
Or maybe I just need to spend more time with Pandora.
“When Pandora launched its iPhone application in early 2008, there were more...”

Traffic in DC. Traffic in Maryland. Traffic in New Jersey. Traffic in New York.

Generally, Posnanski’s a great writer, but I particularly liked this piece. 5-6 years ago, I never would’ve thought Pierce would still be in Boston. The team was often a mess and it seemed like Pierce wanted out. Instead, Pierce turned himself into the Celtics’...

There are times you just have to shut your eyes, cover your ears, and wait for the bad (wo)man to stop. For Rep Setzler, this was one of those times.
No Party Saturday

Closings on hold due to bank fuckups.
Sorry for the confusion.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get a shotgun and visit some bank branches home and get drunk.
Remember, signatures before shotgun.

Kicking the Tires
Now that I’ve got free time, I’ve been thinking that it’d be nice to do some more writing. I’ve actually had this place setup for a while, but I was using it as a dumping ground for tweets, delicious links, photos, whatever. As of now, I’ve turned off all that stuff and I’ll be using for straight-up, tumblr-only content, as opposed to a me-aggregator.
