For those who don't already know, I'm in Japan with The Flying Romanos, having a fascinating trip. I hope to write more about that at some point here, but in the meantime, I'm thrilled to announce that the first few photos are up (from Kamakura, where I took over 90 pictures in the course of one afternoon). More will come soon: see the album I've created at Picasa. Enjoy!

I was in Mount Kisco today, and considering going to the library to take advantage of the Wi-Fi there. A quick look at the library's description of their Wi-Fi service dissuaded me from doing that:

  • Only 5 simultaneous users are supported, "so patrons may be asked to limit their time online when others are waiting."
  • Outlets are not available "due to tripping hazards for other patrons"!
No thanks. Hey, Mount Kisco: I appreciate that you're supplying a Wi-Fi hotspot at the library, but do it right, OK?

It has just come to my attention that credit card companies frown on merchants imposing those pesky minimum credit-card purchase requirements. In fact, they don't allow merchants to do this at all.



So what am I doing about it? Well, first of all, I am reporting merchants who do this (see here for how to do that), but there's another part too. I have created the Minimum Purchase Hall of Shame for people to share information about these merchants and whom they have been reported to. It's just a LJ community at the moment, but I have plans for a nice searchable database of these folks. So...get out there and start reporting merchants who break the rules!
