@zach,
have you checked zachbaker.com recently? This is what I get:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in Articles#index
Mysql::Error: Table 'zbtypodb.users' doesn't exist: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users

Thanks. I've nearly forgotten that it isn't running. I had a crazy experience moving my account between Dreamhost accounts and ended up trying to repeatedly send my Typo database through a webform 500K at a time -- enough said. I'll fix it now.
I stick with Dreamhost primarily because the founders were in my college class (yeah, I'm a YC senior citizen), so I beg your pardon for my sentimentality.

Should be interesting to see how this natural step up from chicagocrime.org evolves, I'm not from the US but the three initial cities have kept me clicking around for a while - reading the team's past interviews / posts I'd expect them to put a lot into EveryBlock, and it seems they have. Can't wait to see what the site is like in a year!
This is a pretty cool site. I know a number of soccermoms who religiously check a crime blog for the neighborhood, they're also interested to know when a park or YMCA closes too, but I guess they'll have to program that themselves from an API.
This is the non-blog data companion to http://outside.in/ ?
This is very promising - nice work.
It's honestly a lot easier for startups when people don't have to fully engage their imagination to understand your business idea. I know that sounds cynical, but it's just a practical fact. People get more excited when they can quickly relate to something and "start the gears turning" about an idea right away.
