Tickets are now on sale for the Yuri's Night Bay Area party down at NASA. And TYCHO will be playing (<3).



And for those of you without a NASA close at hand, you can find or throw your own Yuri's Night party and then register the party with the Yuri's Night web site.

To get anywhere across multiple transit providers here in the bay area you either had to have lots of time and a collection of transportation service maps or else use 511.org.

511 is a great mashup of data and would be noteworthy if it wasn't for the downright dispicable user experience it offered. And now Google as stepped in to fight the good fight for public transit. I noticed that I have a new link to click when a route is available on a public transit system.



Notice the little gasoline price calculation in the directions. It is pretty telling to see the price of gasoline calculated out on the page. If I didn't have to pick up Winston down in the south bay today, I wouldn't drive, but alas, the trains don't like dogs.

I found this on the baypiggies e-mail list:

On Saturday March 1st, Untangle and the ACCRC are organizing a massive installfest for Bay Area schools.  We are refurbishing hundreds of older/discarded computers with Ubuntu and donating them to Bay Area schools.  We need your help from Linux users installing Ubuntu at the 4 locations, which are San Francisco, Berkeley, San Mateo & Marin County.

I am trying to figure out how to help with the San Francisco event. That is also Ashley's birthday, but I might volunteer for morning help.
