MSN Dating & Personals - 9 great non-dinner dates

Tim Murphy was cited in the above article about dating. Actually, it was his website www.nightcoaster.com being cited as a place to look for amusement parks by state.

Go Tim! If Microsoft says you are authoritative, well, I'd still go look at Google. :-)

Of GA and WiFi

From my last General Assembly Planning meeting, I've learned some interesting things about WiFi in St Louis. So here is your preview for GA 2006.

First, those of you in the Rennasaince Grand (or just hanging out there) have free Wifi in the lobby areas, and I suspect it's the same in the Ren Suites. It's $9.95 a night if you want it in your room, which is standard across all of Marriott's properties.

This year, we have a rather nice perk: America's Center offers free wifi in the lobby areas of the convention centre! From what I've seen, it doesn't work in the Plenary or Exhibit halls.

Delocator says there are a number of coffee shops in the 63101 area code around the conference centre, but I'm unsure which have free wifi.
