New startup idea. Another story about new ways of creating and sharing local news and information.

Excerpts from the lengthy and interesting story.

During the weekend of Jul 11-13, 2014, I visited family in eastern Ohio. While walking my dog at the park on Jul 13, I flushed this boldly-patterned, daytime-flying moth.

Excerpts from this interesting story about blogging being used as hyperlocal journalism.

On Jul 5, 2014, I found this cicada wing on our driveway. The Scissor-grinder Cicadas began singing around our West Toledo home on June 30. Time to transition from birdsong to insect song.

On Jul 5, 2014, I made a pizza dough that used some spent grains from our Dark-eyed Junco Imperial Stout that we brewed on Mar 30, 2014. It's probably the ugliest pizza crust ever made, but it turned out surprisingly well. The addition of the spent grains imparted a mild and tasty flavor, made a thicker and chewier crust, and added a lot of dark color.

At least as of June 2014, especially with newsletters. Email's resurgence probably began when the iPhone came out in 2007. Notifications on smartphones. Staying connected and current.

I understand that some people are too brilliant to be in our company. They operate on a higher level, and they get impatient with people who cannot intellectually keep up.

But intelligent geeks should try not to be big a-holes when interacting with "normal" people, especially when the geeks are designing solutions to make life easier for the rest of us.
