Detroit Airport Gets Wi-Fi
Detroit Airport Gets Wi-Fi
12/19/2003 07:36 PMConcourse Communications built a Wi-Fi network in part of Detroit's
airport: The network will be free through the end of the holidays and
after that will cost $6.95 for daily use. Concourse went through some
restructuring a few months ago, and is finally getting caught up on
its contracted airports. It's had Detroit under contracts for years,
and the three New York/New Jersey airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and
Newark) are about to get fully built out as well instead of the
partial service now available....

Wi-Fi Draws Tenants in Detroit
01/19/2004 01:59 PMAn apartment complex in Detroit that draws executives from nearby auto
makers has Wi-Fi throughout: Residents who rent furnished
apartments--apparently many of them do--get the Internet access for
free. The owner of the complex calls Wi-Fi a "deal clincher" for many
potential residents. It seems as though the network administrator
authorizes users on the network by their MAC addresses. A service
provider is also targeting apartment buildings in Washington, D.C. For
new or old construction, Wi-Fi offers a much easier way for building
owners to offer Internet access than stringing cable throughout the
building....

fabulous ruins of Detroit: "After decades of blight, large
swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of
this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated
buildings . . . rather than fight this return to nature, urban farmers
have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more
than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire
blocks." [note: NY Times link]

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit
Urban farmers reclaim Detroit
12/11/2003 09:39 AMIn Detroit, urban farmers, frustrated with buying their groceries at
Party Stores now that the grocery chains have largely pulled out of
the city, have begun to reclaim Detroit's vast empty spaces for
grow-your-own operations, complete with livestock and tractors.
After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed
by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of
weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings. Satellite images show an
urban core giving way to an urban prairie.
Rather than fight this return to nature, Mr. Weertz and other urban
farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land
into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming
entire blocks.

06/24/2005 06:29 PMCory Doctorow:
I'm delivering a midnight keynote at this year's ADHOC conference
(ADHOC is also known as "MacHack") in Detroit, July 27-31. Hope to see
you there!
The Advanced Developers Hands On Conference (ADHOC) is an annual event
that provides a unique environment for computer programmers,
engineers, students, and technology enthusiasts. At ADHOC they learn
the cutting-edge technologies of the day not only from experts in
classroom and conference sessions but also from each other in intense
coding marathons. The conference is well rooted in the Macintosh
platform - it is also called MacHack - but over the last few years the
conference has grown to encompass other technologies, such as UNIX,
open source, mobile devices, and more...
The showcase is an intensive, multi-day contest where you try to make
something to impress everyone else at the conference. Ideally, you
start it when you arrive, and you finish sometime before you go on
stage to show it. Many of the coolest bits of software that came out
for the Mac started in the Showcase. And, because everyone wants to
see something cool, if you need the help from a programming expert who
just happens to be at the show, you can ask them, and you'll learn
what you need. You can learn more about the Mac OS in a very short
amount of time just by trying to write a showcase entry.

NY Times Still Trying To Equate Silicon
Valley To Detroit
NY Times Still Trying To Equate Silicon
Valley To Detroit
03/28/2005 01:28 PMIn May of 2003, we pointed out that the NY Times was running an
article which suggested that
Silico
n Valley was becoming more like Detroit -- no longer driving the
economy, but just a cog with cyclical ups and downs. In other words,
it's just a producing industry, rather than an innovating one that
increases efficiencies or changes the overall market. It appears that
despite what appears to be a return of some interest in the tech
world, the NY Times is still pitching almost exactly the same story
and
is comparing
Silicon Valley to Detroit again -- though, at least they give
equal space to those who disagree. This isn't to say Silicon Valley,
the geographical region, isn't facing challenges -- but to compare
"technology" in general to "the automotive industry" specifically, is
clearly an apples and oranges comparison. The technology industry
isn't just about final products, but about making the process more
efficient. It doesn't always work -- and there are other factors
involved, but the entire tech industry doesn't die off just because
the economy had some problems.

Mel Gibson
Forgives Us for His Sins.
The vilification of Jews by Mr.
Gibson, his film and some of his allies, unchallenged by his media
enablers, is not happening in a vacuum. We are in the midst of an
escalating election-year culture war in which those of "faith" are
demonizing so-called "secularists" (for which read any Jews critical
of Mr. Gibson and their fellow travelers, liberals). Politicians, we
are learning, seem increasingly eager to wrap themselves in "The
Passion of the Christ" as a handy signal to indicate they are opposed
to all those "secularists" whose conspiracy is undermining all that
right-thinking Americans hold near and dear.LoadPod comes to San Francisco,

I'll be heading out to Scottsdale this afternoon, so drop me a line

but I'm not a complete duffer - so anyone who enjoys a nice walk on a
big manicured lawn along with some interesting conversation, send an
email or leave a message at my room at the hotel.
