Some notes on using Posterous
Good thing: pasted picture and text from a web site in Gmail rich text editor and the picture appeared in Gmail and at the Posterous blog when I sent the email! (I think you have to enable the “embed picture” thingie in Gmail labs to do this.) Bad thing: PST timestamp. If you’re CST, all your posts are stamped 2 hours earlier. If you change one and then forget to change the next...

Brooklyn Park getting WiMax?
Clearwire has a proposal in to provide a WiMax wireless network for Brooklyn Park. This will be the first WiMax network that I know of in this area. No investment by the Brooklyn Park; customers would pay for the service. Ostensibly they want to provide connectivity to people on lower incomes but prices they are mentioning do not seem very “low income” to me. (Maybe there is a tier...

Tragedy in Seward: An open letter to the community
An open letter: Last night, our community was struck with tragedy. An integral business along Seward’s main street, Seward Market, was inflicted with exceptional and inexplicable acts of violence that ended in the murders of three people. This violence is not indicative of our community and will not detract from our vibrant, diverse and welcoming neighborhood. In the wake of tragedy, our best...
Tragedy in Seward: My Story
This isn’t a personal blog, of course, but today I’m going to take the liberty of writing my story from last night as it relates to the tragedy. Partly it’s community “news” I think and partly it is helping me in processing the event. Last night I headed to Seward Co-op about 7:45. Mary was having friends over and I planned to park on Seward Co-op’s public Wi-Fi...

Resurrecting online news in Seward Neighborhood...
Seward Neighborhood on the east side of Minneapolis and bordering the Mississippi River, has had a community newspaper, the Seward Profile then The Bridge (and more recently the Bridgeland online news site), for a long, long time. (The Profile may have been the first community newspaper in Minneapolis. I’m still trying to verify that.) In 2009, due to finances, the newspaper ceased...
