The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything: [Daily Geekery] December 6, 2010

A lot happens during the weekend - and a lot of this activity takes place offline. So I figure the Daily Geekery can limit itself to just run during week days, which means my Monday post will be a bit longer than usual. Then again, not as much fun stuff happens over the weekend since the writers are too busy experiencing the fun as opposed to writing about it. At least that's my speculation.

What do you think? Do you find the Daily Geekery an interesting addition to the Geeky Guide? Let us know in the comments!

But of course this is only for the holidays - I'd like to see how the MMDA might try to adopt this solution for the longer term and consider how to devote resources to further expanding alternative routes in order to decongest EDSA. As convenient as the highway is, it's also practically the only route most people know.
