After recently crushing a woman in a car, the Big Dig in Boston has been found to have many additional problems.  Mitt “Can I Be President Now” Romney is naturally passing the buck onto the transit authority.  He’s taking full responsibility credit for taking charge.
Now that people have been killed, he’s all over the problem.  […]

Ignoring the reality of the situation, Massachusetts politicians are hammering down on.. er.. a document format. That’s right folks. You’re paying them to be incenssed over a format.
A format which, I might add, is perfectly usable and doesn’t really have any downside. Only it doesn’t restrict the user to Microsoft’s software.
Anyone can […]

So you’ve always wanted to run a blog.  But you don’t have the time to actually do the whole get-em-running-and-hosted-and-listed thing.
Well.  You’re in luck!  Dan over at Boston Web Properties (BWP) is looking to fill a few vacancies.  Hit ‘em up!
NEGeek, as you may have noticed, runs on the network and it’s been a pretty […]

Wooo! Looks like Manray might be re-opening after a year-long absense from the Boston-Cambridge scene. Nothing concrete yet, bu they’ve got a “watch out for us this summer” notice up on the website.
Looks like I’ll be up in Boston more often in the near future. Hope to see ya’all out there!
Manray Nightclub. Home […]

What would you call outpouring a donation almost equivelent to the cumulative total of your past five years of donating to one state on the eve of their voting to mandate open standards?
Trying to buy a state, of course. And who better to purchase off state senators with *ahem* charitable donations than Microsoft.
After all, […]

Nicholas Negroponte was previewing a working model of the 100$(USD) laptop for every child laptop.  Apparently it stole the MITX spotlight.. but with a feature rich laptop coming in at 100$, you can probably imagine why.
Now… why they can’t crank these puppies out mass-production style and use the sales to subsidize the cost on the […]

Massachusetts is just abounding with special interest groups that don’t want the government to use Open Standards.  They’ll do everything from stifle innovation to give you cancer (but only in the state of California).  Funny how these groups come out of the woodwork to oppose any kind of standards yet remained silent on the fact […]

MIT doesn’t have quite the spirit it used to in regards to rebelious behaviour.  Once upon a time, marking out the whole of the Harvard bridge in measures of a student didn’t ellicit much more than a chuckle.
These days, however, you can’t even hold up a sign protesting a speakers employer without being harrased.  Which […]

What is sexy?  Subjective?  A state of mind?
Whatever, apparently it’s not these women.   Charlie Wrigley lays it down for us in his first of a 5 parter on the Unsexiest Women in the World.  Full of celebrity and tongue in cheek commentary, it makes for a funny read.
After all, Boston *is* Funny, right?
Boston is […]

So there are some people that are genuinely homeless and do society a service. Witness the guy outside Dan’s (Puritan City) T stop (fancy word for the Metro in Boston).
So he stands there all morning greeting people going on to the T. And sure, people give him coffee, donuts, what have you. […]
