Real-time data for all local bus and *subway* transit

MBTA just released subway predictions (except for Green Line; they don't have that data themselves!). And EZRide just activated their trackers too. So where do you want to go? :)

Example queries: Red Line / 1 / CT1, Next train at Kendall, Next Tech Shuttle at Tang,  Next EZRide at SidPac
It's all just APIs, so other services can get that data too, e.g.,
http://m.mit.edu/shuttleschedule/ for MIT and http://mbta.com/apps/
for MBTA. (I use BostonBusMap on Android.)

Thinking is hard but there is no substitute for it.

Recording both sides of a Skype convo (OS X)

Cracked it, without Audio Hijack. 1. Install SoundFlower. 2. In Audio/MIDI Setup, create an aggregate device (the "+" button) containing SoundFlower and your input device. 3. Launch Soundflowerbed, select your main output under "Soundflower (2ch)". 4. Set Skype to output to Soundflower (2ch) (leave the input as-is). 5. In Logic/Live/GarageBand, set the input to the aggregate device. Create 2 stereo channels, and make a test call.

Now that I knew what to look for, I found that someone already figured this out.

This should also work for Google Talk or Gizmo5 or any other VoIP app where you can set the audio output. In fact, if you set your default audio output in Audio/MIDI Setup to Soundflower, that should make everything else just work.
