Friday, May 4th, 2007Dave at B2Blog writes about his personal experience with The Dip as written about by Seth Godin. I didn’t quote the best part of Dave’s article, you’ll have to click over to see the list of choices we have when we get stuck. He pretty much covers all the avenues.

EarthLink Pauses On New Muni Wireless Projects
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007This article in Information Week contains so many great sentences, the temptation is to include the entire article. That is not my policy, so I settled for these few sentences that inject reality into the whole Muni-WiFi discussion. The requirement, though, is to visit the website and read the complete article.

Houston’s Largest Kroger Store
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007The Redhead and I were glad to see this store open last month because it saves us about five miles in our grocery shopping efforts, and best of all, new carts. Not any of the old wobbly carts that defy rolling straight, or two wheels that are round (meaning two are not).
We’ve shopped there three [...]
Shelby GT500 Super Snakes
Monday, April 30th, 2007Ford had raised the bar again in the high-tech horsepower war. GM and Chrysler Corp have yet to release their competing Camaro and Challenger models, and Ford is planting the challenge flag squarely on the race track. This is the type of HP wars witnessed in the late 60s early 70s. Oh boy!

Should the Government Get Involved?
Saturday, March 31st, 2007Which side of the fence do you stand on? Do you think the government should get involved or let the free enterprise system take its course? I think these are important questions that must be answered if we will see the United States continue to flourish and grow.
Wednesday, I referenced (and made comments about) a [...]
FCC Probe: Net Neutrality Goose Chase?
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007I can think of a lot of ways to spend tax dollars that don’t include a wild goose chase. As the paragraph below says, neither side of the debate expects anything to turn up from this investigation. If that is so, then why waste our money?
I have long been against so-called Net Neutrality, because I [...]
Wireless industry gears up for WiMax
Monday, March 26th, 2007The WiMax Forum is getting close to the specifics that will allow this technology to explode. WiMax overcomes many of the limitations of WiFi and could be the dark horse in bringing wireless Internet access to … well, everywhere. Speed and distance are greatly improved, and that will make it the technology of choice for [...]
Freedom from the office — the Bedouin way
Monday, March 19th, 2007Mike Elgan hitchhikes on an article written by Dan Fost about the Bedouin lifestyle. He shares much of how he currently works and how he “appears in the office” at all times. If you are struggling with the mobile office and how to gain that extra edge, this article is for you.
The best part is [...]
Broadband over powerline is ready to explode
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007This technology could be the real competitor to cable and DSL. The speeds are comparable and with the kinks worked out from a few years ago, BPL could come into its own. The best part; they are delivering synchronous, not asynchronous service. The 3Mbs download speed is matched with a 3Mbs upload speed.
The upload [...]
