iOS 6 ad-tracking opt-out
It's plainly posted, right behind the sign that says "Beware of the Settings → General → About → Advertising → Limit Ad Tracking → On
It's far from clear what, if anything, this actually accomplishes, but it's a thing that exists.

Settings → Privacy → Location Services → System Services → Location-based iAds → Off
This is a level of obscurity worthy of Facebook. Well played, Apple.

Why isn't DPT crowdsourced?
I wish I could just take a picture of the license plate of cars parked in the bike lane or otherwise engaged in obvious jackassery, MMS it to DPT, and cause a ticket to be issued. All the information is there: timestamp, GPS, photo. It could work just the same as red-light cameras.
Someone please make this happen.
I'm coming for you, UPS.

That's right:
"Fuck you!"

Devon just found this under the stage: A Technics SL-P 1300 DJ CD player, manufactured in 1990.
I thought dinosaurs were extinct!
