| Photo Location |
[Dec. 3rd, 2009|09:27 am] |
Ok, so I need to do a band photo shoot soon and am looking for a good location.
Ideally I'd like to find somewhere in greater Boston or the surrounding areas where there is something crow-related in the backdrop, be it artwork, graffiti, real crows (an aviary, maybe?) or something similar.
Any suggestions? |

Does anyone know if Privus in Allston still has weekly dance nights "Retro" (80's and 90's) and "Circus" (electro dance goodness)? |

| Kevin Smith at Northeastern |
[Dec. 2nd, 2009|01:21 am] |
|
I follow Kevin Smith's constantly updated Twitter and he posted yesterday about how he was going to do some kind of impromptu gig at Northeastern this Thursday. I go to Northeastern and I love Kevin Smith. The trouble is, no one seems to know about this gig. The event people at Northeastern told me that it's being held by Northeastern's entrepreneur club, but I haven't been able to get in contact with this club. Does anyone know what the deal with this event is? |

| Car tires |
[Dec. 1st, 2009|10:32 am] |
Hi All,
If anyone is interested, I have 6 tires (4 regular; 2 studded) that I'm trying to get rid of by tomorrow evening. The 4 regular tires were bought in April 2009 and have only been used 6 months. I will take $25/per, or your best offer.
The regular tires are "Hercules MR IV Touring -- P205/70R15". Per the Hercules website, the stats for the tires are:
Tire size and description: 95T
Rim width (inches): 6.0
PSI :35
Max load: 1499
Overall diameter: 26.34
section width: 8.23
Tread depth 32nds: 11
Ship weight lbs: 22.3
Eclipse code: 60275
I'm not sure what the dimensions are on the studded tires but they fit on the same car. The studded tires were only used last winter and are also in good condition. |

| Lutefisk? |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|03:58 pm] |
So, my google-fu has failed me, and I'm thinking that MBTA isn't going to help.
Does anyone know where I can find lutefisk? I've never had it, but I've been meaning to try it for many years. This year I've been invited to a christmas event at which it would be appropriate, so I'd love to bring some, but I can't seem to figure out how to get any.
Any ideas? |

| Can you help some feral kitties find homes? |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|02:25 pm] |
Hello ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) b0st0n.
OK, so I don't live in Boston anymore, I moved away. However, I still have many friends in Boston and the area, and I am trying to help one of them spread the word about kitties. KITTIES. Who doesn't love kitties?
The basics:
My friend in JP is looking for help with/homes for some feral cats.
The details are all here:
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=187619624389
You'll learn far more by clicking that link than by asking me anything. ;)
Thanks!
ETA: For those who don't have Facebook, text follows.

| Free Advice & Banner |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|01:11 am] |
Hi B0st0n,
I'm embarking on a small project to occupy my mind as the days get shorter and colder. I enjoy making little banners out of triangles of tissue paper and string, and I have made a few for my friends with "motivational" phrases on them to help those friends get through some particular rough patches/ruts (One said "try new things" and another said "something always happens").
I'm a big believer of being able to change your attitude by conditioning your thoughts. Practice thinking nice thoughts and you'll get better at it, it starts to come more naturally.
Anyway, I'd really like to make some for strangers in Boston. For free.
So if you'd be at all interested in receiving a banner, send an email to adviceandbanners@gmail.com (include a mailing address). Tell me something that's been on your mind, or a problem you're dealing with, or something you'd like to be better at, and I'll come up with a short little phrase that might be helpful for you to keep in mind, and I'll put it on a banner for you to hang on a wall. You know, the sort of phrase that will get stuck in your head and will hopefully help you remember to take action in a positive way. I'll also send you a description of why I chose that phrase/how I think it will help/other general advice I can come up with.
Here's the blog I made for it: http://adviceandbanners.blogspot.com/
(I don't have any credentials really, but I've been told by many people that I am very good at giving advice.) |

| "Financial" planner (poor student)? |
[Nov. 25th, 2009|07:44 am] |
(I recall reading a similar post months ago, but LJSeek - like my school's FinAid Office - is complete crap)
I'm about to enter repayment on yacht's worth of student loans, and since I also have a convoluted future educational expense, I'm not sure which of the repayment options to choose. The loan servicing center can't advise on plan selection, and considering my dubious financial savvy, I don't trust myself not to make a grave error.
Can anyone suggest a person who could sit with me for an hour and help me select an option? Someone like Suze Orman, but local and <$150/hr? If they are good, I may also save up my shekels and use him/her to sort out my other finances.
*sigh*
Should have just gotten a yacht. |

| MBTA real-time bus updates |
[Nov. 24th, 2009|12:18 pm] |
As posted on mbta yesterday, the MBTA have got together with NextBus to start a trial run of an online feed that provides the current location and estimated arrival times of their buses. Only five routes are represented at the moment - the 39, 111, 114, 116 and 117 - but the feed is freely available, so developers can tap into it and use the data to create pages that can make a decent guess at telling you when your bus is going to arrive.
There's a page that went up last week that plots the current location of buses by route on a Google map, written by Joe Shaw. I also threw a next bus ETA predictor together last night (and then had dreadful nightmares about buses) which should work on IE and Firefox at least - you can search for nearby buses by route and the stop where you're waiting. If anyone here uses these routes and can say whether the pages are at all accurate, and if they work from mobile devices like the iPhone, that would really be appreciated - I can't test them myself yet because the buses for the trial run are nowhere near me.
Also, if you want to see the service expanded to other routes, you could email the MBTA through their contact page and let them know that there's demand for this kind of service - I contacted them myself yesterday in the hope that encouragement might speed the process up a bit. You never know, it might help.
The XML feed and instructions for accessing it can be found at http://www.eot.state.ma.us/developers/realtime/ .
Updated: My page has now been reworked to make it more mobile-friendly, using a single page with GET parameters. |
