An article on the 311 operators in San Francisco: it’s a single phone number for questions about all city services. And SF seems to have a lot of city services. I was thinking it would be even more useful in my area, where there are overlapping city, county, and state jurisdictions for similar services. But if there was more than one jurisdiction, how ever would one fund it?

Many of the questions seem very familiar from library work.

“including… what would happen if Captain Jack met Captain Reynolds.”

I’ll be in my bunk.

I’m not reading the whole article yet, but some Torchwood writers (including the actor who played Mickey the idiot) attended Comic-Con this year and talked about stuff, including (according to Whedonesque) what would happen if Captain Jack met Captain Reynolds.
Two items I did note: Torchwood starts this weekend on BBC America, and Russell Davies was not mentioned among the first set of named SDCC attendees.
I’ll read the whole article after I’ve seen some Torchwood.
