NYC: When Will The Next Bus Arrive?

It’s about time. Now if they only would do it for subways too. And maybe people can be trained not to walk down into the subway when they see people coming up (don’t they know a train has just arrived and left the station?!).

Electronic count down displays with expected arrival times will be placed along 34th street:

DVDs w/ Cross Platform Commentaries

I have been frustrated how DVDs do not exploit their technology. It is a long list as to what they could do to make better use of it, and hopefully one day I will build that out. In the meantime if you have any suggestions please forward them on to us here. And to tide you over until the day comes with the mega-uber list:

This suggestion from Dan McGuire:
Movie dvds should include a Aiff or Mp3 audio file of the director’s commentary, so I can listen to the comments on my ipod or car cd player the day after viewing the film.

How great would that be!
