Executive Director
Intelligent Community Forum

In part 2 of this interview with Robert Bell, the Executive Director of the Intelligent Community Forum, we'll hear more about the global broadband economy but from the perspective of some specific groups.

For example, will the move to a broadband economy increase the digital divide?

What opportunities and challenges does a region such as the Great Lakes face, in particular Northeast Ohio and Cleveland, with a rust belt mentality, and geography being almost irrelevant in the broadband economy?

And how OneCommunity's Scot Rourke earned Visionary of the Year distinction.

H1B Visa
Geek Vote

Would expanding the number of visas take jobs away from Americans and lower their wages? Does limiting the number of "smart" people who come to the US make us less competitive in the Global Economy?

The Great Lakes Geek is doing an article on H1B visas and would like your opinions. You can vote in the anonymous survey on the right but I am also looking for people who are willing to be quoted on their opinion.

Leave your info in the comments field of the vote - thanks

Geek Book





The Great Lakes Geek was all set to release his brilliance and reveal his genius to the world and then he actually read the book.

Let's just say that the book is a lot closer to cubic zirconium than diamond. But, maybe the Geek is jaded. Check out the review and see if it might be of interest to you.

But don't say we didn't warn you.

This has been a favorite for many years. And for those of you who just Google the problems to get the answers, give this one some thinking time first.

As with any great puzzle, once you get it, it will appear trivial.
