My Chumby transit widget

I just got a Chumby, primarily to let me create this widget to run on it: it’s a clock that displays predictions of when the Portland Streetcar will be passing the stops nearest my home. Green dots are northbound; red are southbound. Armed with this, I know exactly when I need to leave the house to avoid a long wait.

(I wrote this using OpenLaszlo - I started with a “clock” demo of theirs, and added some dots and a bit of data retrieval.)

Photos!

I just got back from an OSAF Sprint Week in San Francisco — all the remote folks “come home” every so often to work together in the office, and we were celebrating the Preview release of Chandler.

I took my new camera along, and shot a few photos of my coworkers at lunch, and more just walking around the city — mostly during an evening walk with Ted Leung, who I’m learning a lot from. (Those are links to my new Flickr account - you can get to all my pictures using the new link over there in the sidebar.)
