Metrocard has a new auto-refilling plan
I've always kept a few metrocards because it was a pain to remember how much was on each. When one ran out, I flipped to the other one and bought a new one (reusing them is a pain, too).
Now they have a refilling program. It lets me go down to 1 metro card and I do not have to carry the special credit card that I use to refill it. Details are at www.mta.info.

What is an unconference?
Scripting News Annex: "The idea for an unconference came while sitting in the audience of a panel discussion at a conference, waiting for someone to say something intelligent, or not self-serving, or not mind-numbingly boring. The idea came while listening to someone drone endlessly through PowerPoint slides, nodding off, or (in later years) checking email, or posting something to my blog, wondering if it had to be so mind-numbingly boring."

AP: NYC National Debt Clock runs out of digits
NEW YORK - In a sign of the times, the National Debt Clock in New York City has run out of digits to record the growing figure.
As a short-term fix, the digital dollar sign on the billboard-style clock near Times Square has been switched to a figure — the "1" in $10 trillion. It's marking the federal government's current debt at about $10.2 trillion.
The Durst Organization says it plans to update the sign next year by adding two digits. That will make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars.
The late Manhattan real estate developer Seymour Durst put the sign up in 1989 to call attention to what was then a $2.7 trillion debt.
