Sometimes the old way is better.

In this case, San Francisco has a bunch of insecure card reading parking meters that basically allowed a hacker to figure out how to get free parking at 20000+ meters! Total cost for hardware for unlimited parking? Looks like about $30.

Cool that he figured it out and published it though. There had to be people out there doing it already. I wonder how SF will address it now that it's out? They will need to do something, parking is bad enough in there without people stealing spaces.

Maybe we'll stick with coin only meters around here for a while...

It's getting loud out there...

Ever wonder what you can do about folks with obnoxiously loud stereos?

If you are in Green Bay, you can fill out a loud stereo complaint form.

A few notes:

* It hasn't ever gotten this far yet, but you should be willing to go to court to testify in case the ticket is contested.

* The sound must be audible from 75 feet away.

* You have to turn it in within 24 hours.

Green Bay Stagnant or Churning?

PG Article on Green Bay's population.

I suspect there's been lots of folks moving out and others coming in to replace them.
