Two posts this week! See the last post too which is also this week. But I couldn’t resist an extra post because of Bride Thriller and Quidditch craziness. Enjoy!
And check out Next Bus, which works on the Web or on your handheld to tell you where the MBTA’s buses actually are, using GPS, and if you didn’t see it in 2008, Auto-tune the news, which is impossible to describe, but good.
