…on Portland On Fire.

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.)

Gina noticed a leftover half burrito in the fridge just now. She asked where I’d gotten it - I told her it came from Loco Loco, a food trailer on Alder near 9th. Then I admitted that I actually prefer Loco Loco’s burritos to Olé Olé’s or Cha! Cha! Cha!’s. Then I realized what I’d said.

You’re not a geek blogger until you’ve written a post live from somewhere out in the world: greetings from Phone Company Park, section 308. At this point, the local boys have a nine-run lead over the Cubs; they established this lead early, by scoring five runs in the first 14 minutes (and that’s counting the Cubs’ half of the first inning). Mr. Bonds has walked three times: pitched around once, and the regular way twice.

(If Danger had HTTPS access to my stuff, I’d have posted the photos I just took, but I don’t want to send my password over the ballpark’s WiFi network.)
