Earlier this week, we noted that Nor'East Wallingford resident Dan Shapiro popped up on the well-read TechCrunch blog. In an unlikely coincidence, he's popped up again on another of the blockbuster blogs, Boing Boing, this time talking about his hobby, remote controlled airplanes.

TechCrunch's mercurial Michael Arrington huffed that Ontela has declined to comment, instead "sending us to voicemail". We're sure it wasn't personal. Dan was probably just out playing with his one year old twins at the McDonald School…
In reviewing our numbers, we realized that we crossed a little milestone on October 12: we have over 1,000 readers subscribed to our RSS feed (either via e-mail or something like Google Reader). That's not a count of the number of people reading us every day because some subscribers won't actually read every article and there are lots of folks who visit the site directly via the web instead of subscribing, but it's a handy milestone.
