Attention Caltrain Riders:
There is a new (launched yesterday) iPhone app called Nimbler Caltrain that claims to:
To try it out, download Nimbler Caltrain at the iPhone App Store, or visit www.nimbler.com for more information.
This is not an endorsement per se (I have loaded, but not tried out, this app) but if this thing works as claimed, it could be useful to all us Caltrain riders.
Oh, it's free, too.
Best commuting wishes,

Edward Flanders Robb Ricketts, known by many simply as Ed Ricketts, was an American marine biologist, ecologist, and philosopher. He is best known for the publication Between Pacific Tides (1939), a pioneering study of intertidal ecology, and for his friendship with writer John Steinbeck, which resulted in their collaboration on the Sea of Cortez, later republished as The Log from the Sea of Cortez (1951). Steinbeck based the character “Doc” in his novel “Cannery Row” on Ed Ricketts.
Let your colleagues and our patrons know that the Library Open House is today from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.! This year's Library Open House will take place both outside and inside the Green Library East portal/lobby area, highlighting SUL services and resources. Participants will include most of the campus libraries, Special Collections, Digital Humanities, SUL in Second Life, and many more. This year, Stanford’s own radio station, KZSU (90.1 FM), will be broadcasting live, featuring some music from our Music Library collections, as well as engaging in live chat sessions. There will be a curated tour of the new exhibit: Scripting the Sacred: Medieval Latin Manuscripts; the newest information/tips on SearchWorks, xSearch, RefWorks, Mendeley, and Zotero will be presented; and the very popular Robotic Book Scanner tours are back. Fun giveaways and a drawing for prizes will round out the event. We look forward to seeing you there!
