General

Today is our wedding. Michelle and I are very excited, ironing out the final details. In a few minutes, we will head to the space to start setup.

By 1:30, everything should be more or less in place, with me and close friends at a sports bar near the space, watching the USA rock Ghana. After that game, we will do final decorations, set up the electronics, don our suits, and Michelle and I will tie the knot.

For all those who could not make it, we are thinking of you and are grateful for your kind notes, gifts, and cards. (Bruce Springsteen's Radio Nowhere just came on and I got energized and started dancing with Michelle a little).

Thank you to everyone that has helped out - this is incredible. Kimmi has welcomed Michelle to the family.

I dunno who this punk is, but there's about 20 min of him yakking about broadband.

Thanks to Kimmi for alerting me to this excellent commencement address to Smith College by Rachel Maddow. Highly recommended.

I been a busy duder. Was quoted in a recent MPR story. And I released what we are calling my "opus" around the office.... a big damn report about broadband networks.

Hop on over to a WCCO story on why US Broadband is slower than peer nations, and you will see me talking on the tele.

I finally got an opinion piece published in the Star Tribune - In Minnesota, a de facto limit on broadband: Service across the state would be better if there were public competition.

All thoughts and comments appreciated.

Did you wake up hearing my voice on your radio? MPR ran a story this morning with a short quote from me - the story covering Duluth's desire for Google gigabit fiber.

After spending September, October, and November shooting sports constantly and frequently editing, I was left with a massive backlog of magazines to read. So in December, I made it a priority to catch up so I could get back to reading books. Success! By the beginning of 2010, I reduced the backlog to 5 magazines! I took a photo of all the magazines, though a few in there where from Michelle.

I have lots of ideas for posts, but trying to get used to working after a well-needed week off.*

In the meantime, I just got published in Ars Technica - which is a pretty big deal. I think of Ars as the NY Times of the tech world. My column about broadband is here but if you want to help it get more exposure, you can digg it up here.

* I'll discuss just how relaxing that week "off" was in an upcoming post

These are the bookshelves in our living room. Stained by Michelle and varnished by both of us - the first time we tried to classy-up our shelves. It went pretty well.

The books aren't arranged yet, so don't go looking for patterns or anything.
