I wish we had a US company that thinks about broadband the way Free.fr does. The money quote:
“We are a broadband service provider,” was his matter-of-fact reply. “Everything else — from voice to IPTV to storage – is just a feature that rides on this data service.” For the rest of the telecom industry, long addicted to metered minutes and billable items, this is rebellious thinking.
It seems there is an unspoken but upheld rule that the Internet sleeps on the weekend. Unlike the frenzy of the work week, the Internet – as a whole – seems to go into a quiet vegetative state as soon as the clock strikes 5pm on Friday.
It’s a gentle change, one that often goes unnoticed. It’s a change from refreshing a website and seeing one new post instead of ten. It’s a change from having 10 friends online instead of 60. It’s a change from rush to leisure.
I had an idea the other day to start documenting all the various pieces of information that I’ve collected over my years of living. The types of information I intend to share are those that I have found aren’t common knowledge. The knowledge is more ‘special’. As in – it is highly targeted and specific in its use and application.
In summary, most of the information I intend to share are technical in nature.
However! It is my hope that through the power of words I will make complex concepts easy to understand. Skills that once were mysterious may be shown to be as plain to understand as brushing your teeth. (Which is not to underestimate the difficulty of brushing three times a day.)
I’m starting by fanning out what topics I intend to cover and will slowly update each page with information as time permits.
Get started with the hub page which for now I’m calling Resources. Click here to read my newly created Resources page.
Oh! How I wish I had time to write a full fledged post today!
Oh, How I Wish!
But alas the day has dragged me forward,
Preventing even the beginnings of good thoughts to be placed online.
Oh, what woe!
Oh, what neglect!
Oh how I wish I could not have wished to be left a mess.
Future blog posts are coming tomorrow, and the next day, faithful readers.
Along with more posts look for a revamped layout, sharper direction, and more immersive content.
Stay tuned!
Sorry about the delay for getting this post online. It’s been a wickedly busy week and I figured it be better to take my time with this post rather than rush it. Lots of great goodies for you here. Read on, and enjoy!
On Sunday I got a funny idea for a website. Inspired by The Wall Street Journal’s decision to require users to pay to access their articles I created this satirical website.
Nothing there works, it’s just a static page, but I’d be seriously curious how many people would pay to “access the internet.” I think it’s all hilarious – to access that webpage you already need to be accessing the internet. The irony kills me.
