Evergreen MP3 Watches For Couples

Evergreen MP3 Watches For Couples 04/15/2005 09:58 AM

Evergreen's new "EG-MPW256CII" offers absolutely nothing over previous MP3 watches, except for perhaps style. Whether or not you determine the style of the watch to be appealing is unrelated. Evergreen offers blue and pink versions of the watch "intended for couples." It will play audio from its 256MB of internal memory for about 10 hours. Let's hope Evergreen was smart enough to give it a second battery for keeping the time.

Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot

Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
It's always worrisome to qualify networks as the "biggest" but in this case I'd bet that eastern Oregon really does have the biggest hotspot in the country: Yesterday, Boardman and Hermiston, Ore. turned on a 600-square-mile hotspot. The network came about through a public/private initiative and was built by EZ Wireless. The network will be used by the Morrow County Emergency Management and Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, the police force, and citizens. Initially, it will cover 600 square miles which includes four counties and seven cities, some in Washington. The second phase, which should be complete this summer, will add another seven cities. The press release isn't online and any news organizations in the area either don't post the stories online or require subscriptions from visitors wanting to read the stories online....

Eugene, Oregon, Wants Downtown Wi-Fi

Eugene, Oregon, Wants Downtown Wi-Fi 03/27/2005 06:15 PM

The city's daily newspaper urges Wi-Fi rollout: I grew up in Eugene. This is a fairly conservative paper in a pretty liberal town. And there's no sock-puppet talk here. Just a concern about keeping Eugene, a kind of island in the middle of the state with a large liberal-arts university, on track to keep the economy humming. They don't suggest city-wide Wi-Fi, but downtown Wi-Fi for free, which is a good starting place to understand usage.

Eugene's downtown used to be cited by city planners because in the 1960s, they converted from a street-based downtown to a pedestrian-only one. Streets were paved over. Remarkably, shoppers and businesses slowly fled downtown into surrounding areas and the Valley River Center Mall a few miles away on the other side of the Willamette River. A few years ago, the pedestrian mall was ripped out and life has slowly returned to downtown.

Oregon Pedometer with Alarm

Oregon Pedometer with Alarm 09/24/2004 11:46 PM

The girls over at Shiny Shiny point out this great new gizmo from Oregon, a pedometer with a built-in panic alarm. If next you're out jogging and can't outpace that Olympic-sprinter-cum-homo-mugger, a push of the panic button will cause an ear-piercing 120dB alarm to blare forth, hopefully scaring the attacker away before you do permanent damage to your taut, muscular ears.

Oregon Mall Goes Wireless

Oregon Mall Goes Wireless 02/18/2004 01:17 PM
Cedar Hills Crossing, a mall in Beaverton, Ore., is now covered by Wi-Fi: Access is free to visitors and the network is co-sponsored by Personal Telco. Without interesting applications for visitors, I'm not sure how useful this network will be. I don't often carry my laptop with me when I'm shopping. There is a restaurant here that's covered, however. Plus, this would be a good place for customers to use services that let them scan bar codes and compare products and prices. Best Buy, Borders, and Office Depot are in this mall so those stores might be able to think up some useful applications for the network. The University Village and Bellevue Square malls in the Seattle area, both somewhat upscale places, have full coverage with Cometa. But they also have individual coverage (free and fee) in individual properties throughout. It's unclear whether those two malls have seen any change in visitors or usage -- they haven't discussed it, and they may not even be able to track it....
