I have an easy solution for the home/work thing. Foursquare could build that into your settings and then allow people to check into home or work. They could even create a new mayor-like status for your place that is home or work flagged in your settings. Personally I don't do the home thing, but we have some epic mayoral battles that go on at <a href="http://foursquare.com/venue/310113" rel="nofollow">TDS Telecom</a> and honestly it makes foursquare a "fun" thing to do. Now in our case it is not a store front and the only realistic mayor competition would be employees so it makes more sense, but I agree that it is lame when an employee prevents rewarding great customers cause they whore the mayorship. I also see where you're coming from on the event check in front. It will be interesting to see how they figure it all out if they do implement sub-venues. -Tenny Thanks for the reply Terrence!

I was incorrect when I said that was the condensor that was just hanging in there; it was likely a transmission cooler but oh well; I didn't bother tracing the lines. For those taking notes ended up needing 2.5 gallons of antifreeze instead of 2 as the ehow article recommended. It was a fun project!
