Global Warming

My guess is that Al Gore has not visited Grand Rapids, Michigan or Chicago recently.

It looks like I am getting out of Grand Rapids an hour and a half late. I will be speaking at the Westin Chicago Airport tonight at 7:30 PM.

Google Offers Free Broadband Wireless

I heard rumblings about this over the last few weeks. I think it was codenamed, hook, line and sinker:

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 1, 2007 - Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the launch of Google TiSP (BETA)™, a free in-home wireless broadband service that delivers online connectivity via users' plumbing systems. The Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) project is a self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system.

"We've got that whole organizing-the-world's-information thing more or less under control," said Google Co-founder and President Larry Page, a longtime supporter of so-called "dark porcelain" research and development. "What's interesting, though, is how many different modalities there are for actually getting that information to you - not to mention from you."

For years, data carriers have confronted the "last hundred yards" problem for delivering data from local networks into individual homes. Now Google has successfully devised a "last hundred smelly yards" solution that takes advantage of preexisting plumbing and sewage systems and their related hydraulic data-transmission capabilities. "There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time," says Page. "And today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and - splat - right onto your PC."

New! Get FREE breakthrough broadband with Google TiSP (BETA).

Seattle's Blake Lewis - The Next American Idol?

As I do some research for MLM Blog Video, I ran across Blake Lewis from Seattle. Is anyone better than this guy on American Idol?

Vote for my Seattle Boy!

Barack Obama Sounds Like The Rock

I have to say that I wasn't the first person that noticed this, but I can't remember where I read it. After doing a little digging on YouTube, I found these two videos. Listen to WWE's "The Rock" and then listen to "Ba-rack".


I'd vote for him if he would start ending his speeches with...."If ya smell what BA-Rock is coookin'."

Hillary Clinton Has Got To Be Scared

Obama I watched the majority of Barack Obama's speech yesterday that launched his presidential campaign.

Impressive.

This will be an interesting election.

I don't write much about politics on this site, but politics certainly affect the climate of small business in America and while I have never voted for a democratic presidential candidate, I think I will be following the Obama campaign closely.

I don't get too political on this blog, but this caught my eye. Have a look at these videos and then sign the petition (or not) at www.grassfire.org
