Unwired?
Intel ranks Minneapolis/Saint Paul as the 9th most unwired city. Seattle area is #1.
Insanity
Contois Music and Technology seems to think that they should be allowed to patent the ability to sort songs by artist, genre, etc. Nice try. I am going to patent using windows to give people the ability to see out of buildings. When does the insanity at the USPTO stop???

So long good friend – NHL is done for the year
It’s too bad that the sides could have either prevented this disaster before it happened, or atleast come to a reasonable agreement. From an article in the SJ Mercury News:
T is for TV ratings. A very bad sign when ESPN2’s substitute programming — think poker — doubles last season’s NHL viewership.
That will about sum up the thing the player’s don’t want to hear….
Oh well, back to CBS, for more of Survivior and Amazing Race….

Walmart Density
In the spirit of Starbuck density, I have 8 Walmart stores within 15 miles of my house, including this brand new one. And that doesn’t include the 8 Sam’s Club stores, either. (25 mile radius, since they don’t allow a smaller circle.)

Genuis at MnDOT
According to this press release: MnDOT Press Release, the $400,000 cost of providing live, accurate traffic reports and continuous coverage during serve incidents, is not worth the cost.
They say that the motorist can buy satellite radio or use any other radio station’s traffic broadcast. The KBEM reports are generally current and accurate. The other reports I have heard are neither. I have been at the area that they report as a crash and the area is completely cleared.
Contact Kevin Gutknecht (651) 284-0515 with your concerns. I, for one, believe this is one of the many things that the state used to right, to help motorists get around the metro area.
Thanks for the 15 years of service KBEM FM. I’ll miss the acurate and timely reports.
