Why are you still using Internet Explorer?
As of the time I am writing this note, the Firefox web browser has been download 60,492,725 times. It's a fine replacement for the antiquated Internet Explorer.

Karaoke Tonight at The Courtside
A few friends and acquintances are getting together tonight for karaoke at The Courtside, a restaurant and bar in Cambridge near Lechmere.

Voltaire and Free Wi-Fi
Glenn Fleishman at Wi-Fi Networking News wrote yesterday about a coffee shop in Seattle that decided to "experiment with taking back its culture by turning off the Wi-Fi juice on weekends."

Rebekah Gewirtz
Fellow Lowden Avenue resident Rebekah Gewirtz and her campaign manager knocked on my door earlier tonight. She's launching a campaign for Ward 6 Alderman in Somerville and needs to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot to run against incumbant John M. “Jack†Connolly.

Relocating to Canada
Before the last presidential election, many people would talk about how they'd want to leave the United States if George Bush won again. For most people it was just a lot of talk. Well, someone I know is really doing it. David has been writing about the process of relocating to Canada on ...
Michael Feldman’s Take on the Wi-Fi Summit
Michael Feldman wrote an extensive blog post about his impressions attending yesterday's Wi-Fi Summit. Always willing to speak up on subjects he knows little or nothing about, the Dowbrigade asked for, and received, one of the circulating microphones.
