I am out and about with the sidekick and have lots to say I guess. I am eating a Pano's with matthew and lisa.
Here's what I've been thinking about, at Pano's.
Wireless Elmwood Network
First, I heard that caffe aroma has wireless internet, at least I think I did.
Does anyone know if it is free? We have free internet by the
(e:strip) headquaters on elmwood and lafayette and I think Off the Wall has it to.
Anyone interested in helping develop a huge free internet zone before some corporate crackhead does? Let's set up a meeting. I think we could do it really cheaply and maybe even get a grant if we tie it in with the site and community somehow.
I imagine the site being the homepage for the giant network. It would be a great way for a free network to represent the people on it and not some lame advertising.
The worst case scenario, is some corporates make the site and when you sign on, you are bombarded with corporate propaganda / advertisements such as M&T offering you free checking. I think we need to act before it happens. Imagine, it would be like living in a virtual pop-up zone. I bet you could get whiplash from the pop-up waves.
Which brings me to the point that I think elmwood would be much better with a giant parking lot on one end or both ends, and then have a limited traffic zone. When I lived in Flensburg, Germany for school, they had a terrific area like this. People might say there is no room for parking, I say just use up part of the street. Deliveries can happen at night. Similar to what Ithica has downtown.
The streets here suck anyways. Look at the picture I captured below as I practically trip over the pot-holes writing this on my way down the street.
Anyone, care to discuss this?
