EVDO in Akron Ohio

May 16, 2006
The one area Verizon Wireless might want to look into is Akron, OH where the EVDO speed rivals snail mail. The good news about my stay is that the University of Akron WiFi Access is ubiquitous throughout their campus. I spoke their today. The one challenge is how tight the WiFi security is. I was talking to many of the tech people who were explaining the horrors of protecting a network from students who seem to click on any link. As a result, I couldn’t send e-mail, connect to remote desktop or do just about anything. I could only surf the web. When I had to send I connected to EVDO and just waited and waited and waited. This is a good example of how hackers have made life difficult for people who need technology to stay productive.

Cavaliers vs. Pistons

May 16, 2006

Last Night I had floor seats to the Cleveland Cavaliers/Detroit Pistons game. It was a great experience and the crowd was amazing. It was deafening but exciting. I got to see many of the players close up. The Cavaliers won the game by one point two points so it was a nail biter to the end.

LeBron had an off night but Anderson Varejao was amazing. He played defense like a champ and was no slouch on offense. The game seesawed with the Cavs down 6 and then up 6 within minutes.

I got to the game in the second half and the foul shooting was at about 50% the entire second half.

Apparently I was on TV which is great. I was under the Cavs basket on the left hand side.

Oh and I also got to see Usher who is a part owner of the Cavs.

Test Blog

I am having blog difficulty today but since many of you will read this (assuming this gets posted), shouldn't we have deployed the National Guard to the Mexican border the week after 9/11? I happen to think a robust market of immigrants is healthy. We should change our legal immigration system to allow the correct people into our country quickly and efficiently.
