The casualties of war....
Jun. 1st, 2007 08:21 amToday's Fraiku selection....from Paper Cuts, Office Equipment and Other Maladies...
The broken stapler--
Bear this soldier away from
The field of battle.
In other news, the summer weather has hit woo! Bay area summer is upon us and enter the cold and the fog. I LOVE IT. We are experiencing colding trends and of course people are complaining about that. They complain about the heat and they complain about the cold. Well, I love the cold.
I am using my fog icon to show you what it is like.
It is Friday, got paid. All is good.

Time to do something...

larian's post. They frame the issue really well and always come up with a solid action plan. I have been to meetings in my neighborhood and find them a really good group of people.
Here is the issue:
Public Airwaves for the Public Good
The federal government is on the verge of turning over a huge portion of our public airwaves to companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast--who will use them for private enrichment instead of the public good.
These newly available airwaves are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionize Internet access -- beaming high-speed signals to every park bench, coffee shop, workplace, and home in America at more affordable prices than current Internet service. Phone and cable companies don't want this competition to their Internet service--they'd rather purchase the airwaves at auction and sit on them.
In June, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will make a major decision: Use the public airwaves for the public good, or turn them over to big companies who will stifle competition, innovation, and the wireless Internet revolution. We're urging the FCC to mandate that whoever wins the auction cannot stifle competition and innovation.
Can you sign this petition to the FCC today, and send it to your friends?
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to the Federal Communications Commission.
