Who doesn't love a good old dog story on a gloomy Friday? We may have just lost 21-year-old Chanel (the world's oldest dog), but this past week New York City's oldest canine turned 20, with a cake-filled celebration in midtown. NY1 reports that the dachshund is named Paco Sosa, and his master is Bernadine Santistevan—who credits his longevity to a combination of exercise and diet (he eats organic and takes holistic remedies). His favorite hobbies include eating (!) and walking around Central Park (though we'd guess any park would do). Daily Intel is suspect of Paco's sudden press, saying "Chanel was barely in the grave ten days before Paco seized the opportunity to start hogging the limelight."

New York's Taxi and Limousine Commission is looking ahead to next year, when the three contracts for the current cab information screens expire, and has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge various enhancements to the relatively new taxi technology. The riding public, the taxicab industry and the technology community is being asked for input on how the computerized system can be improved for what the TLC is calling Taxi 2.0.
