Jealous! Of the climbing, not so much the phenol.

In this brief (okay, hour and a half) session, we'll go over the basics of Code for Philly, civic tech, and how to get involved in the Code for Philly community and in projects. You'll also have a chance to meet others in the community!

Reply to Need a roofer by blue-and-bluer

Roof Doctor has done a ton of roofs in our neighborhood. We used them and they were awesome, with sensible pricing and options and great crew. It's a family business, been around for a while.

Amy is outstanding. We've used her, and recommended her to a few friends. She provided strategic advice, like "fix this part now, then wait and watch. If X happens, then do Y."

Reply to What to do with old (but functional) computer? by [deleted]

Drexel TechServe. I have no direct experience with these folks, but they are accepting donations:

"Most computers from within the last 5-10 years will meet these requirements."

Reply to Good “experiences” to gift someone in Philly? by Triphae

There are some history walking tours with actors that are cheesy/fun. I stumbled around with a 1700's British soldier drinking, going into several bars.

Tippler’s Tour maybe?

Reply to comment by PsychoCelloChica in Jury duty question - I got this email telling me I’m not needed, but don’t understand the highlighted part. It strikes me as odd that they’d require this. by SourCeladon

I just served on a week long jury. A lot of stuff (procedures, attendance) seemed to be based on public employment? There was a near riot when we didn't have to report one day, because no one knew how this was handled as a municipal employee.
