Courtesy of Brewed Fresh Daily comes news of an interesting event at the Cleveland City Club. From cityclub.org:

Roland Fryer, a 27-year-old assistant professor of economics at Harvard University, will speak about the racial student achievement gap and what to do about it.

I’m dusting off my neglected membership to attend. Here are the details. And [...]

Should I keep posting these? I mean really… Everyone reads BoingBoing, right?

Still, it’s interesting and even a little exciting. The map to your left displays the coverage of a cooperative internet service provider in Toronto called Wireless Nomad. They provide a basic level of access for free and their paid residential program is $30.

Some time ago, I came across a blog called Hotel Bruce. It looked like it might have been interesting but I never found out. You see, it didn’t have an RSS feed. Well, now it does:. Just don’t tell Bruce.

BBC NEWS | UK | Councils could seize empty homes: “He added: ‘Poorly maintained empty properties are magnets for vandals, drug users, squatters and even arsonists.

‘Bringing empty homes back into use reduces opportunities for low level anti-social behaviour.’”

That’s a good enough reason but it’s far from what I would consider the best reason. If you [...]

I went to the Cleveland Blogger Meetup. Thanks, George, for organizing it. I enjoyed both the company and the food.
