I volunteer at a local AIDS organization, Bruce House, and have been their sole computer support for the last 7 or so years, both in their office of 10 people, and at their residence/hospice. Mostly desktop upgrades/installs/fixes, but pretty much anything they need. I enjoy the work, I like the people that work there, and I'm happy I can do something for the community. Fortunately my last two jobs have had me working outside of the usual 9-5 grind, so I'm able to go in at least one day a week if they need me.

At least you HAVE mass transit. Ottawa still doesn't after a month of striking, and since the union rejected the latest offer from the city, there's no end in sight. It's estimated that there are 30% more cars on the road in the city since the strike started. I had to buy a car just so I could keep getting to work, and I will NOT be going back to mass transit.

100 Years Ago, No Free Broadband Pneumatic Tubes 293

TheSync writes "The Division of Labour blog spotlights a report written 100 years ago by a commission appointed by the Postmaster General, that came to the conclusion: 'That it is not feasible and desirable at the present time for the Government to purchase, to install, or to operate pneumatic tubes.' Here is a scan of the original NYTimes article. If only we had gotten the free government Intertubes in 1908!"
