Sounds good

I'm in! Edit: uh oh, Thursday doesn't work for me (watching the kids), but I'll be there in spirit. Looking forward to meeting you all some day!

Works great on my b-berry tour. I especially like the grayed-out stations when the train skips the stop--nice touch. On another note, a while back I started building an app for tracking the street cleaning schedule w/ respect to the location you parked your car (including SMS message reminders to move your car). Would any of you find use in that kind of app?
