Sooo Close...
They almost got it, but I'll take it if that's the way it has to be....
**Check it out here from Reuters.Philadelphia announced that the city will go ahead with it's plans to provide wireless access for a 135 square mile area, which is absolutely phenomeonal when you consider how far the idea of public wireless access has come from it's roots of a tennis ball can hanging out of a window.
Yet, I'm not so down with the $16-$20 monthly charge that people will have to pay to utilize the service. Yeah, it may be cool for the people that live within that area. Yet, how many people can still not only afford that monthly bill, but also how many people outside of the area are going to pay $16-$20/month?
This wireless user will take it...But don't call it free wireless access. It's not even in the same category...It's great that the broadband bills will be cut in half, but 'm waiting to see how many people actually subscribe to this now.
***My man, "Uncle Grambo" from Whatevs.org, does not play around...He gets raw on celebs and that's why I love this guy's blog. Check him out here.
He goes off on the human 'air balloon' Cameron Diaz in a ripping review of her new MTV reality travel show 'Trippin'"...Here's a snippet of his review.
"Namely, that (Cameron Diaz) she's even more shallow than a kiddie pool. Despite being flown across the world on someone else's dime and having the opportunity to take in culture and scenery that 99 percent of Americans could never even DREAM of being able to afford, the only words that seemingly come out of her gaping piehole are "This is bad ass!" Reverance for history and foreign culture be damned, bring on the "Eva Mendes farts in her sleep" jokes!
Even that friggin' crazy cokehead Steve-O is a virtual Marlon Perkins when compared to Cammy Diaz! I don't think I'm being in the slightest bit on fair when I deem "Trippin" to be the Worst. Show. Ever."
'Uncle Grambo' strikes again...
I caught the final five minutes of this show the other day, and I have to admit that it was pretty much of a 'sell-out' show...The fact that these guys were treated as royalty among buddhist monks and Nepalese was just plain disgusting....Yet, I'm more disgusted with the fact that I gave it five minutes of view time.
**Also, "The Big Fella" Ted Martin Duke's decision to continue their iPod program. Man, I like what they're doing with it...I like what they're doing with it!
Yes, the majority of these students are going to use it for music, but a lot of them are learning to utilize podcasting, audio files, and other storage methods that will put them a few steps ahead of everyone else in terms of how to work with new tools...Good move.
