Local shopping, geek style? Please don't overlook "Microscope RPG", an indie, pen-and-paper RPG written by local game designer, Ben Robbins (http://www.lamemage.com). You can purchase Microscope for $19.95 from Gamma Ray Games, the independently-owned game shop located on geek-friendly Capitol Hill. How's this for accolades for Microscope? "Winner: Most Innovative New Product, Gaming Genius Awards 2011" and "Finalist: RPG Game of the Year, Golden Geek Awards 2011".

Re: Friday Fun: How to make any web page ‘do a barrel roll’

I just tried it and it's hella cool, as the kids say LOL.

But, Monica, surely you kidding about the etymology of "barrel roll". Starfox 64? WTF? Clearly you meant to say it's an aerial maneuver that's been performed since the days aircraft were called biplanes.

Your excitement about e-readers is palpable and your observations are well-stated. Ever since I got my Kindle last year, I've felt the same. I'm reading books again with a surprising ferocity!

Re: Is Apple’s iOS 4.1 a lame duck?

Tri — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 01:07:12 -0000

Upgrading my 2g iPod touch from 3.1.3 to 4.1 has rendered it depressingly unstable. Stalwarts like Osfooora and Reeder crash a lot now. Even worse are the now-frequent entire device crashes and the long wait that ensues until the device reboots itself. Pathetic. Oh yeah, very few Backgrounder task managers work under 4.1. I may downgrade to 4.02 if that’s possible. A stable, jailbreakable 4.2 is my dream.

The missing southbound station on 12th is an oversight, WInchester. Or at least an SDOT representative acknowledged it as such; he penciled it onto the board with a red Sharpie.

That station is also missing from the Density and Capacity diagrams! I pointed that out to SDOT, too!

He was quite determined, wasn't he! Would he have been John Dolan of the First Hill Community Association? But I also heard him shudder at the idea of running streetcar through Boren Avenue's nightmare traffic congestion.

Those NIMBYs were pissed that SDOT dropped that 11th Ave couplet on them. They were determined to organize themselves to bury City Council under a blizzard of protest letters.

@JohnJensen - "Not many folks who attended the open house seemed to vocalize support for the 12th Ave alignment, but the written comments may have reflected a different reality than I witnessed."

In fact I saw and heard much support for the 12th Ave couplet alignment.

SDOT took written comments. Others were encouraged to submit comments online at http://www.seattlestreetcar... (inexplicably, SDOT failed to post a comment form there; perhaps best to email Ethan Melone until a form is posted).

The open house felt like a cocktail party without the cocktails. I'd expected a presentation or a Q&A. Instead, I found myself mingling, wandering from cluster to cluster, catching snatches of questions and conversation. Overall, SDOT's open house format makes it hard for any observer to judge overall audience reaction to the proposals.

@Eric L and @barman - you can ask SDOT yourselves at tonight's Open House at Yesler Terrace Community Center!

Sorry, Adam! I thought it was clear from the context that the first quote was Chad's. I had no intention of putting words your mouth.

I am brushing these thoughts together.

I know that the Boren option is the convention wisdom. But if trips to First Hill from fixed-rail commuters come overwhelmingly from International District, and if streetcar from IDS to Virginia Mason is not appreciably faster than a bus up the hill from Union Station that you can take today, and if the ensuing alignment is the least direct, has the longest trip length, is potentially the most expensive, and is most radically confusing --- well I think there are some big issues with the Boren option!

Even First Hill's biggest booster shuddered at the thought of streetcar getting fouled up in Boren Avenue's traffic congestion nightmare.
