Yodeya Con

[cellio]

Mi Yodeya (the Jewish Q&A site on Stack Exchange) will be five years old in a couple weeks, and the founder is hosting a celebration. Mi Yodeya is a worldwide community, so no matter where it's held only a small portion of users could come, but fortunately for me the founder now lives within driving distance of my house. (This is a recent-ish change.) Woot! I get to spend a shabbat with somebody I'm very interested in meeting and talking more with, and his family, and a dozen or two others. This'll be fun! And attendees are being encouraged to give short divrei torah (torah talks), so as soon as I finish preparing this week's, I'll need to give that some thought. First impressions, you know. :-)

On a side note, I'm glad Google Maps tells me which roads along a path are toll roads, and I'd be even happier if it told me the toll.

I suppose it would be okay for GMaps to include toll information clearly labeled for single auto, no trailer, non-variable toll. More toll roads in my awareness are moving to variable tolls depending either on time of day (and day of week) or traffic load, and those would be nigh impossible to give a toll for up front.
