A Muni Metro party!
Very much like a Smirnoff advert a couple years back featuring an impromptu party (I’m not going to delve into a “who was first” tirade), newmindspace is putting together an ad-hoc mini-party on the Metro.
Meet up at the Muni stop at the Caltrain depot (4th and King) at 7:59 PM, get on the next two car N Judah and have a ball!
More info after the jump.

It actually said “Cathodic Protection”, but the round bit of the d was rubbed off.

Why, oh why is there not a widespread implementation of a function to de-select floors on a elevator? We’ve all made the mistake of hitting the wrong button on the lift at one point of another, but it simply baffles me as to why there isn’t a simple interface to de-select a floor. A simple second push should de-select the floor, or maybe a two-button combo move to prevent an accidental de-selection. With all the rage in embedding computing these days, I’m certain that this would be trivial to implement.
Another feature I think would be cool is a second light in the switches that indicates floors that have had requested an elevator stop in the same direction, just so you know how long you’ll be waiting.

Somehow, my past-flatmate Tristan and I have been able to maintain one of the longest running arguments ever on the color of tennis balls. Personally, I adamantly defend that they are in fact green, but Tristan has been wildly led astray in believing the fallacy of the “optic yellow”-ness of the matter. I’d be really happy to finally find some reasonably definitive answer to this some day.
