Nostalgic NYC stuff. I operated a blog title called "Tech for the City" very briefly while there. I tried to dig up unique technology for exhibit at the blog, and at some point finally decided to walk up and interview this guy -- an early live streamer before Periscope and live feature components of Twitter and the like. He was a regular at Union Square Park.
He had some beef with Turkey politics and I believe he was in some kind of voluntary exile. Livestreaming was his chosen opposition voice, and he was certainly committed to it.
Not exactly sure what happened to him, but I do know from his blog at the time he was staged to head back. He was pissing people off, I hope he is okay today wherever he is.

Whoa! Spotted at the Allen Medical Station. I encountered these new turnstiles wrapped and staged...for implementation? I need to Google this.
For the non-Buffalo reader, currently NFTA (Niagra Frontier Transit Authority) uses the honor system for fares. These pictures suggest we're going to a more conventional turnstile system.
We're going to get turnstile jumpers! More and more like New York City each day around here.

Video demonstration of the speed camera ticket and its website. It's better full-screened.
I'm going to guess that most people here in Buffalo have yet to be issued a speeding ticket resulting from a violation caught by one of the city's new speed cameras.
I am ashamed to admit that I was negligent and reckless enough to be someone that was.
If eventually you do yourself, this video shows off the ticket that you can expect to receive, and a quick walk through of the website where you will be allowed to view your violation and either pay the fine, or initiate the process of contesting it.
As it appears, I apparently triggered the camera exactly one minute and 46 seconds into the control period (meaning, the 15 MPH speed limit I violated had just kicked in at 7:30 whereas I caught at 7:31) sooo, yay for my timing.
