Stuart forwarded me this Twitter notification:

Best,
StateCollegePD's twitter feed is actually an interesting idea, despite how ominous Twitter's boilerplate email makes it sound. The PD are using the feed for snow emergency notifications, Penn State football traffic alerts, and other things. I'm not sure how tracking Stuart's writing and reviewing schedule fits into that, but I guess they're just being engaged members of the community.
