Adrian Holovaty was a database and programming genius at The Post. We never met directly but he recently pulled my butt out of the fire on our annual Post 200 section, working some last minute magic to get it up on the Web. He recently announced he was leaving the paper after receiving a $1+ million grant to build some kind of new local news aggregator. The details on his Web site so far are intriguing, if thin:
EveryBlock
EveryBlock will be a Web site that aggregates an unprecedented depth of local news and information in select cities.
E-mail Adrian at info at everyblock.com if you'd like to be notified when we have something to show. If you'd like, let us know your hometown and which types of local news you might want to see.
Thanks for your interest!

BTW, did anyone has trouble accessing Google this morning, or was it just me?
