Time-Sucking Site For The Super-Wonky
It's a site that lists shovel-ready projects that will be eligible for potential grants under the federal economic stimulus package -- including 266 in Massachusetts totalling $1 billion in estimated costs.
It's Wiki, so you can add to the project descriptions. (Which, to date, are sadly lacking for many local projects.)
And, you can vote on whether the project is critical or not.
For 99% of the world, this is perhaps the least interesting web site they can possibly imagine.
For the other 1% of you -- prepare to get sucked in.
Here's the page of Massachusetts projects for you to start on. Enjoy!
