The Globe reports on state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson's desire to avoid another embarrassment like two years ago, when she, oops, forgot to file her nomination petitions on time. The paper writes:

This year, Wilkerson qualified for the primary ballot with a whopping 3,000 signatures, 10 times the amount she needed.

Not quite. As Linda Rodriguez at the South End News reports, Wilkerson actually only qualified with 428 signatures, just one more than her opponent, Sonia Chang-Diaz. This doesn't mean the remainder of her 3,000 signatures were bad, necessarily, just that elections officials stopped looking after a certain point.

Are you looking for like-minded progressives to hang out with in Boston? Want to cross-promote your events and campaigns? Are you new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in? Are you psyched about building strong cross-issue coalitions?

Chris Lovett graciously shared his spreadsheet with precinct-by-precinct vote tallies for the entire city of Boston in Tuesday's Democratic primary. Below, you'll find the counts for Clinton and Obama. His spreadsheet also has numbers for all the other Democratic candidates; if anybody's interested in those, let me know and I'll append the spreadsheet. If you want to see where a particular precinct is, check this map.

Steve Garfield is posting a lot of notes and photos from the Boston Wi-Fi Summit over at the weblog he maintains for City Councillor John Tobin. (There's no category collecting all the related entries so start at the homepage and dig in!)

At today's Boston Wi-Fi Summit, Doug Schremp from BTS Partners just gave an overview of the analysis of a Wi-Fi survey in Boston from the perspective of individuals and organizations. During his presentation he outlined several questions that may be discussed further at today's summit.

The agenda is available as a PDF and is listed on Councillor Tobin's weblog.

Carpundit notes an Audi from New York with newly missing headlights in Bay Village, uses his forensic skills to determine the theft was recent and sympathetically adds:

Sorry, pal. But I'm sure plenty of Bostonians get mugged in New York, so maybe we're even?
