Is This Heaven?Is This Heaven? 06/30/2004 09:37 AM I Spot ACCESS is an Iowa company that is currently working with the state of Iowa to set up free wireless hotspots at all of the states highway rest areas. An article in today's Des Moines Register points to increased tourism and spending in local communities as a benefit of the new service. The wireless hot spots are now available at rest stops near Mitchellville and Davenport on Interstate Highway 80, and near Osceola on Interstate Highway 35, Iowa Department of Transportation officials said. A similar service will begin soon at rest areas near Adair on I-80. After a six-month trial, access may expand to 40 rest areas statewide, officials said. I Spot ACCESS isn't charging the state or users for the service. Their business model is built on advertising for local businesses and directing traffic to a page of ads and local information when users access the network. Considering the large amount of traffic that uses I-80 I can see this succeeding. Having lived most of my life there, I don't need much of an excuse to visit Iowa, but now I have another reason to stop a few times on my way home. Beyond rest areas, I think free wifi hotspots belong in every mall
food court. Provide an inexpensive reason for people to walk in the
mall and chances are they will probably drop a few bucks. If nothing
else, it gives dad something to do while mom and the kids shop. Click here to comment on this entry Honking in HeavenHonking in Heaven 05/18/2004 02:56 PM No longer happy and peppy.

For those of us who can't stand pits, pits, pits in our juice, juice, juice, always remember: The world is a circus if you look at it the right way. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust but mystery, a marvel, there in your hand. Every time you stop and think, "I'm alive. And being alive is fantastic." Every time such a thing happens, you are part of the circus of Dr. Lao. Stairway to HeavenStairway to Heaven 08/31/2004 08:04 AM
« A contestant at the Finnish air guitar finals in Helsinki before competing in the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu. [do watch the video as one of the winners is a pretty hot looking woman. :)] » It has often been said that guitars and cars are phallic extensions and, at least with guitars, you can almost picture it as such but air guitar is like clothed public masturbation. :) It's more enjoyable than karaoke for the spectator, at least a sober one, and in the age of MTV who didn't want to play like Eddie Van Halen at one point or another? There was a bit of a judging scandal, too. What in the hell is it with sport scandals this year? If it's not doping or drugs it's a judging fiasco. It takes all the focus off the sport and puts it on the business side. At least no one jumped up on stage and tried to warn the contestants about the impending end of the world. And, perl people should join me in a moment of silence for the valiant sparc formerly known as chaos.wustl.edu since it gave its last gasp on Friday and will be given to the boneyard for parts. Chaos had been in service for almost ten years and it took 3 years of hard beating when it served as the search.cpan.org host before it was rescued by an E450. I spent a lot of late nights and early morning keeping chaos running when it was getting pummeled and, I think, we bonded. I'm not a very sentimental person but I'm going to miss that poor old box. A special thanks to Alan Reuter and the whole CTS department at Washington University in St. Louis for hosting it for all these years. Chaos also hosted the cpan.org DNS which Ben Hockenhull has fixed for now until I work up the enthusiasm to work with NyetworkSolutions and move things around. So long chaos, I'll miss you. *sniff* Tone Heaven Vol. 1 Vol. 1Tone Heaven Vol. 1 Vol. 1 03/17/2005 04:24 AM 450 New amp settings for GarageBand & Logic.

Thank heaven for good drugsThank heaven for good drugs 09/04/2004 06:36 AM Bill Clinton called into the special Larry King roundup on his bypass surgery. He sounded great. Of course I projected my own experience onto his. I sounded great too, at that point in the process. They're pumping relaxing drugs into your system. I don't think you could feel anxious, no matter what. Good drugs. It didn't really come home what was going to happen until the guy came in to shave my chest the morning of the surgery. He didn't stop there. Basically every single square inch of my body was shaved, except for the top of my head. I tried to make light conversation, but my mind was on what was about to happen. Before they carted me away I had to go into the lavatory and wash everything I could reach. That's when I fell apart. Sobbing, crying, wanting to get out of there. I looked at my chest and realized this was the last time I was going to see it. I had a pretty good idea of what they do in bypass surgery, and I had a visual image there and then of my vital organs coming out through a big hole there. I collapsed, got up and put myself in the rolling bed they had brought in, and let them roll me into the surgery part of the heart clinic. Somewhere along the line they must have hooked up something intravenously, because while I was waiting in the corridor for someone to come get me, I got really high. Cracking jokes, and sort of observing all the preparations for the surgery. I'm not sure if I was actually in the operating room, but let me tell you, I sure didn't mind. Next thing I knew I was crawling my way through some weird weird ideas into a strange reality, the recovery room. There was an attendent there, reading a magazine, giving me ice cubes to suck on (I was really thirsty) and giving me more opiates to keep me from freaking out. When morning came (24 hours since the beginning of the surgery) they brought me breakfast, and made me get out of bed to eat it. I did. They don't let you lie in bed for any long period after the surgery, if they did you'd get even sicker, gotta get moving asap. The amazing thing is that your body can do it. I remember the first walks I took around the cardiac ward were the most gratifying of my life. But I wasn't out of the emotional hole yet. Maybe I'll write more about that after Bill Clinton has his surgery. Yesterday he cracked a great joke, "Like the Republicans, I want four more years." Here's lookin at you kid. Murphy-willing, knock wood, I am not a doctor (or a Republican), it should be a lot more than four more years.
