Google to experiment with ultra high speed internet – Fishers Indiana need this.
2 Mar 2010 Author: Tbone In: News, points 2 ponder
Fishers Town Talk – Google is planning to launch an experiment that will help make internet access better and faster. They plan to test ultra-high-speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. The networks will deliver internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today. Fishers would like to be one of the test municipalities! To help the effort to make Fishers a test location, residents can fill out a survey. You can find the survey at the Fishers town home page www.fishers.in.us
It’s easy – go here and click on, “Nominate Your Community” – the survey itself is pretty quick. You will be asked about your upload and download speeds and there are links provided so you can check. (or go here).
Important – Follow up
Once you’ve completed the survey, get your spouse, significant other to do it. Then fill out a survey for your children, (and maybe other peoples children or children you’re planning on having one day). If you’re following me this is Chicago style campaign – “Vote and vote often”
If you don’t live in Fishers
We need your help too – go take the survey and nominate Fishers Indiana, then follow the steps above under “follow up”. You may visit here one day, (and we hope you do), and you’ll be able to race through the web on a fabulous fiber optic internet connection that you helped commandeer with a simple survey.

What does Comcast do when their company name is synonymous with lousy service.
28 Feb 2010 Author: Tbone In: I Don't get it Department, UncategorizedLogically I would think you might develop an action plan of some type to start addressing the problem. Maybe hire a team of consultants, of course that might have been part of the original problem. What is Comcast going to do? Change their name and stamp, “I fixed it” on the issue. I guess that means my download speeds will continue to trail far behind most of the world and the outages that come every couple of days are here to stay. You can read the story here.
And after all the Xfinity hype I’m surprised that “http://comcast.com/xfinity” gets “Page not found“. Did somebody forget the content?
In case Comcast ever reads this; Finity is from the latin word finis which means to end, or limited possible out comes. Putting and “X” in front of it just mean it will happen quicker.

Alec Garrard, 78, a retired farmer has spent more than 30 years building an enormous scale model of Herod’s temple. And get this – it’s still unfinished!
He dedicated a massive 33,000 hours to constructing the ancient temple, which measures a whopping 20ft by 12ft.
He hand-baked and painted every clay brick and tile and even sculpted 4,000 tiny human figures to populate the courtyards.
He spent more than three years researching the temple, which was destroyed by the Romans 2,000 years ago and deemed to be one of the most remarkable buildings of ancient times.
With this, his wife thinks he is nuts! (Full story)
… he started telling visitors that his wife had died, despite the fact that she was still very much alive, and that the “drunken nagging woman” who frequented the building was simply her ghost. (Read his bio)

IRVINE – A 57-year-old Costa Mesa man who had his hand severed by a Metrolink train two weeks ago was apparently hit by the same train again Tuesday morning, police said. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Around 7:30 a.m., police and firefighters went to the Irvine Transportation Center after receiving a report of a man who had fallen onto the tracks.
