The Current State of Muni WiFi

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Chicago and Houston have entered the fray of Muni Wifi, and ready or not, the games begin. My views are clear, but I am not against the technology. I am against the cities getting involved. Houston claims that it will be private companies that will invest the $12 Billion dollars to build the infrastructure, but [...]

Washington Post Caught in Metadata Gaffe?

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

I love it when the non-technically astute does something that they should know better about and then can’t fix it fast enough. I posted the original article over at the company blog, PG Technology and now this appears at eweek. It seems the pictures that were posted with the article contained the meta tags that [...]

Mardi Gras - San Leon Style

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

First, one must realize that San Leon is characterized by the local newspaperman as, “A drinking community, with a fishing problem” and that is an accurate description.
Second, as anyone knows, a drinking community doesn’t need a reason to throw a parade, but Mardi Gra is, non-the-less a good reason.

Rock’s living history, streamed online

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

At first reading of the headline, it was not clear what the story would include. Yeah, another streaming radio station on the web, ho hum … I was surprised as I read and began to grasp what what happening here.
Coming of age in the late sixties and early seventies created many memories based on music. [...]

Chris Pratley’s OneNote Blog

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Onenote is one program that I think Microsoft did right, even from the start, but with the changes that are coming, I am one excited user. I believe that most Microsoft programs are bloated and are filled with endless features that users don’t use, or really even need. I consider Onenote the exception to this. [...]
