Seattle Public Schools just declared a snow day--no joke--and there is a "winter weather advisory" out for our area, says the National Weather Service. Seattlest will, of course, be going to work. We're that dedicated, but we are still keeping our fingers crossed that the boss will send everyone straight back home.

We're looking for the perfect place to get some computer-y work done this weekend. Because Obama was elected president, we have hope that such a perfect place exists. Requirements: must have coffee, must have wifi, and must not have the music turned up to 11. Preferred extra qualities: good food, a fireplace, and an interesting view (maybe even of the water).

Yes, you. We see you. You suck. more ›
