“Microwave backhaul” courtesy of Flickr user @jbtaylor You know what I love about wireless standards? They are so vague and undefined. If you’ve ever shopped for a wireless router and gotten confused over 802.11g vs 802.11n then you know what I’m talking about.

You can’t walk down the street without seeing a sign. Signs are there to inform or instruct you, to get you to stop, go and yield to pedestrians.

‘What’s dominating the papers today! (Day 31 of 365)’ courtesy of ‘Gene Hunt’ So, maybe you heard. Prince is engaged and has his wedding date set for April 29th, 2011. Oh, wait, it’s a prince and not Prince? Damn. Either way, it sounds like it’ll be a bit of a media frenzy, what with travel [...]

Moose on the Metro by KentonNgo As you prepare for your journey home for the Thanksgiving holiday, we’d like to offer you some travel safety tips. Don’t refer to Reagan National Airport as “Reagan Airport”. You’ll be hogtied and sprayed with patchouli by any liberal who overhears you. Repeat after me: “National Airport”. Don’t drink [...]

More »We Love Music: Reel Big Fish (and Aquabats!) at 9:30 Club
You can tell a lot about a show by the way people leave after it’s over. The lights come up, the house music kicks in, and people filter through the door, clinging a little bit to the last two hours. Or, in the case of Reel Big Fish at the 9:30 Club on Monday night, [...]

More »It’s been a rough year, consider helping out
”courtesy of ‘DC Central Kitchen’ With the recession still having its impact, and the budget cuts for 2011 looming like a bad nightmare (in all seriousness, Mike Debonis’ twitter stream last night was a slideshow of horrors from the FY2011 budget) and I suspect that many of DC’s awesome non-profits may be about to dial [...]
