The blog post you are talking about can be found here[0]. Despite an active push by Scott for a standardized data format and communication protocol, little has been done in almost 5 years.
As a person with diabetes for 14 years, I feel frustrated about the roadblocks to accessing my data. I am currently investigating reverse engineering the one touch verioiq.
I've caught Crunchbase employees blatantly copying and pasting content from AngelList - which is not Creative Commons as far as I'm aware. I'm surprised they're up in arms over this.
We build interactive games for children with chronic illnesses. Our first product, Jerry the Bear[0] is a teddy bear that teaches children with Type I Diabetes their medical procedures.
We are seeking a developer proficient in Android Development. Past experience with OpenGL or LibGDX[1] are a plus, but not necessary.

The "-uino" suffix is pretty blatantly associated with the arduino platform. To go out there and claim you're using it for the "hobby electronics association" is pretty disingenuous.
Agreed, and it's worth pointing out that this is what Arduino has to say on the matter:
"Note that while we don't attempt to restrict uses of the "duino" suffix, its use causes the Italians on the team to cringe (apparently it sounds terrible); you might want to avoid it. (It's also trademarked by a Hungarian company.)"
You should check out some of the newer pumps in the past few years - specifically the Tandem t-slim and the OmniPod. A lot more functionality, and a lot less pager like.
1. Keep The T open until three or four, so busy entrepreneurs can get home for a few hours of sleep.
2. Get nonlocal VCs and Angels to come to Boston to make deals, and show the locals how it's done.
3. Encourage school to offer indefinite stop out programs. Too many students stash their ideas and suspend their leave of absence lest they lose financial aide or have to reapply to college.

Not gonna happen for the rail transit modes, the down time is necessary so maintenance and track inspection can happen (the T isn't like NYC transit where local service can be shunted to express tracks during shutdowns). I suppose the T could substitute buses during those hours, but that will require a lot of money the T doesn't have to move very few people.

Having lived in Boston for 6 years, 4 of them without a car and getting around on the T, if they are doing maintenance on off hours, I've never seen it. Rather they shut down sections of the T line for days at a time and run buses in their place.
I hear this argument a lot, but I live on the Green Line and I very, very rarely see them doing any maintenance after hours on the tracks. Personally, I think it would make a huge difference if they ran 24/7 through Friday and Saturday evenings.
@mbell & @keypusher - they don't do maintenance on every inch of track every night, but I've spent a lot of time working on the T after hours and there is always some maintenance activity happening on all the lines (even if it's just track inspection which isn't something you're likely to notice unless your looking for it).
