EZ Pass in VA
For those of us who trek out to Wegman’s every now and again via the Dulles Toll Road, you can now use that EZ Pass that you got for going up 495 without having to stop every six feet to pay a new toll, instead of having to stock up on quarters.
Of course, there are [...]

Did you know that DC has a glass school? With classes? I sure didn’t.
But now I think I might want to take one. :D

Metro For The Disabled: Not So Much
As anyone who’s ridden Metro in the last weeks can attest, it seems like half the elevators and escalators on the system are plagued by out of service notices, shuttle services that don’t work, and buses with bad lifts. It’s no surprise that Metro is one of the worst in the country in this [...]
More »Ah, fall in DC
The fall foliage is about to peak at high elevations, everybody! So get in your car and head out to Skyline Drive or someplace to look.
Or, you can be like me and just admire the leaves along the George Washington Parkway every morning on the way to work.
But while you’re out, be sure [...]
Did You Know We Have Laser Tag?
For my friend Mike’s birthday, we were all invited for Laser Tag. I didn’t realize that, well, Laser Tag places still exists, that they were so expensive, and they were so gosh darned fun! As sports go, it’s no racquetball or squash, no ultimate frisbee or kickball, but it sure makes for a [...]
More »Dulles Angst: Your Sandals Shall Not Pass!
Frequently, I travel for business by airplane, which leads to the ever-present airport dilemma. DC’s got three decent sized airports that serve it: IAD (Dulles), DCA (Reagan National) and BWI. I hate driving to Baltimore (contrary to what Tony Kornheiser thinks, I might as WELL be going to Nepal.) and parking at National [...]

Terrists r teh sux0r!
Tom and I noticed on the Metro today on our way to the Book Festival, that DC’s Emergency Management Agency will now send text alerts to your phone or email address in case of an emergency.
While I certainly applaud the embracing of new communications technologies, I have to wonder what this will mean…
“D00d! Terrists [...]

Opposition To DC Stadium
So, it turns out, not everyone is happy with the idea of building a stadium in Southeast. Some folks are really quite pissed off, and some are kinda really mad.
Now, I can understand wanting to house the homeless, and get them out of McPherson square, but I really think a ballpark would [...]
