The Polygraph (wallpaper)
When I saw the awesomely complicated and old-school looking EEG monitor at Axon Labs, I commented to Mike that I wanted a close-up shot of it for my wallpaper.
He obliged with a shot, which I've trimmed to MacBookPro 1440x900 resolution.

geeksinboston.com planning
Today at DevHouseBoston2, Shimon Rura, Jeff Potter and myself started work on creating a local geek-event aggregator/notifier webapp.
With a design sensibility somewhere between Craigslist and Upcoming, it should be live in the next couple of weeks.

Back Seat Basset
When Bacon's in the back of the car, and I'm stopped in traffic, he loves sticking his head out the window and getting adoration from the other drivers.
…for some value of left
Road testing my new GPS in Cambridge gave this rather bizarre instruction (it's telling me to take a "left on Magazine St", but the illustration is actually taking a right onto Massachusetts Ave).
Proof that the roads of New England are too much for even the smartest of technology to deal with.

View from the Stage, Ignite Boston!
The blinding light of the LCD projector, above a pretty full (and frustratingly loud-at-the-back) room.

At last! The secret formula! It is mine!
Spotted on a door at Fenway: The secret instructions for making a footlong hotdog. WIth this recipe, I shall RULE THE WORLD!
Spot the life-long Sox fan
Joy and my parents at Fenway Park.
You'll note that my dad (who's never been to a baseball game before) and my mum (who's been once) are both wearing Red Sox jackets. I'd mentioned to them the night before that it can get kind of chilly in the evening, so they should maybe bring a jacket. So when they happened upon Red Sox jackets at Marshall's earlier in the day, they snapped them up.
Classy!

Yet more Japanese
WEEI and ESPN Radio were both handing out Japanese signs for the crowd to hold up. No idea what they say, though. (Outside the park after the game, the Sully's Tees folks were selling shirts that said "YANKEES SUCK" in Japanese. Some things are universal)
Mr Dice, Meet Mr K.
These guys were a couple of rows back from us. Joy & I are totally going to rip off their idea this Hallowe'en.

Japanese Baseball Cheers
Handed out outside the park.
Matsuzaka 18
First person I saw with a MATSUZAKA 18 shirt on. Saw a fair few people who'd recycled their "DAMON 18" shirts from before he went evil.
Popeye’s Chicken Welcomes Japanese-Speaking Red Sox Fans
First piece of Japanese writing I saw near Fenway, outside the Popeye's Chicken.

Voting device pact at issue - The Boston Globe
Diebold is suing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts because it chose a competing firm’s voting machines. “Weisberg said the company is not alleging any improprieties by the secretary of state’s office. Instead, it is saying the office acted in good faith but made a mistake in the selection.” Just when you think Diebold can’t get any more evil/corrupt/incompetent, they’re (ab)using the courts to screw with the rolling out of competitors’ technology.
