Here's another one of those governmment run digital city projects that were so popular back in the 90's. We worked on two projects like this - OhDaiba (in the Tokyo Bay) and Trieste.

Singapore is the model for all this. Malmo, Sweden, Berlin, the Nirvana project in Utah - these are the folks who will be Broadband Mechanics' customers in the coming years.

These folks will provide their version of DLAs to their citizens. Each country, city, culture and angle will create their own unique DLA experience - but they'll all share the same standards for micro-content, etc.

Oh yah - DLA stands for digital lifestyle aggregator.

04/23/2004 01:30 PM
Spokane's proposal for a city-side network would have two parallel uses: a protected, private public safety net, and a public side for general use: The network currently exists downtown and response to the Washington town's effort has been positive. The downtown network will ultimately span about 100 city blocks and cost north of $500,000 due to donations from Vivato and other vendors. The city's pitch for funding will play on the improved service for public safety (fire, medical, police). Oddly, the story doesn't mention two frequently cited reasons for switching to Wi-Fi for public safety: redundancy with other coverage for emergencies, and cost savings because most public safety radio equipment uses licensed spectrum and proprietary devices....

Wal-Mart is set to enter the already crowded online music service market and compete with market leader iTunes Music Store. Walmart.com's music store is expected to offer about 200,000 titles for download, but downloads are expected to cost less than the regular 99 cents charged by other services. Reports indicate that Wal-Mart will differentiate itself from other music services with a strong offering of high-profile country music.

Wal-Mart's Linux Push


Wal-Mart's Linux Push 12/22/2004 01:00 AM
Wal-Mart is pursuing its own Linux strategy, retail-style, with desktop computers and now this laptop model. For under $500 you can get a well-equipped machine with both the OS and OpenOffice. I'm no fan of Wal-Mart, and I won't shop there. But the Wal-Mart ruthlessness that makes me dislike the company is also responsible for what may be one of the only serious challenges to the Windows monopoly to date.

Peers of the Stall 06/30/2004 02:16 PM
When I was nine years old I changed schools. In my old school kids picked on my classmates and me because we spoke French; in my new school kids picked on my classmates and me because we were "gifted." So, I pretty much felt at home right away. Like most nine-year-olds, peeing wasn't something I devoted a lot of thought to. I had avoided wetting my pants for a dog's age, and the issue simply didn't warrant much consideration beyond that. Over the years my shooting accuracy improved somewhat, but the basic mechanics had already been mastered. Peeing was old hat. Until.
