We saw City Lights‘s production of Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot; Or Holmes for the Holidays” this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a whodunit set in a real Connecticut castle owned by William Gillette, a real actor known for his performances as Sherlock Holmes. Murder and hilarity ensue; it was a fun way to spend a couple of hours. It’s playing at City Lights until December 17.

We also finished listening to The Big Dig podcast from WGBH in Boston; Jeff convinced us to try it while he was here last week, and it was fascinating. If you’re interested in large projects, infrastructure, corruption, or Boston, it’s worth a listen.

I couldn’t make Dr. Prius see the OBDLink CX (to be fair, I couldn’t find any evidence that Dr. Prius supports it), so I tried the free version of Car Scanner instead. It worked perfectly, and if I’m interpreting its results correctly, the hybrid battery in the Prius is in good shape (all 14 cells have nearly the same voltage and very low internal resistance (0.03 ohms)).

I was so impressed by Car Scanner that I splurged $6.99 for the pro version. 😄
