I make a quick decision on my primary vote for Secretary of State

Researching out my choices on the Primary ballot, I was able to make a quick decision between Ritchie and Franson.

Minneapolis Foundation announces 2010 Digital Inclusion Fund Request for Proposals
I am currently a member of the Digital Inclusion Fund Advisory Committee. This will be my last year.

The Digital Inclusion Fund Advisory Committee and The Minneapolis Foundation have called an RFP from eligible 501 (c)(3) nonprofits. Approximately $100,000 will be available for single-year grants in 2010. The Fund will make grants of various sizes, however the maximum grant size is $10,000 for this cycle.

Proposals must be received by 4:30 p.m. friday, september 10, 2010.

The Digital Inclusion Fund is a donor advised fund of The Minneapolis Foundation. It was established through a provision of the Community Benefits Agreement that was a part of the contract between the City of Minneapolis and U.S. Internet Wireless. USIW is the vendor responsible for establishing a wireless network in the City of Minneapolis.

    Forrest the Grandson wants Beatles so here's a playlist for a 4-year-old
    Every time I see Forrest he tells me he needs Beatles. He's not sure which Beatles, just Beatles. Finally I grabbed the CDs I have around and made a quick playlist for him. (Wish I had Yellow Submarine! I'll get that for the next playlist.)

    Forrest's Beatles CD
    Lovely Rita
    A Hard Day's Night
    With A Little Help From My Friends
    Octopus's Garden
    Getting Better
    Can't Buy Me Love
    She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
    I'll Cry Instead
    I Should Have Known Better
    Polythene Pam
    Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

    4th of July 2010 Fireworks pictures.
    My friend Bryan invites us over each year to watch Minneapolis river front fireworks from his condo on the 28th floor of the Carlyle Building. (The non-firework image is a view straight down from his balcony.) This is a rough edit of my pictures. I think it's clear that I'm not trying to get THE superbest fireworks image and rather go after the raw look to try and capture some of the noise and intensity of being so close. Enjoy.

    Seeking nominations for my Mpls-Neighborhoods Twitter list
    A while back over at the @sewardtweets account, I started a Twitter list for Minneapolis neighborhoods and other relevant tweeters.

    http://twitter.com/SewardTweets/mpls-neighborhoods

    I'm looking for other tweeters that might fit this list especially other "official" Minneapolis communities and neighborhoods. (Unofficial tweeters representing neighborhoods will definitely be considered.) Please go over who I am currently following on the list to get a better idea of what it is I have in mind.

    A few ground rules (it is my list, afterall):

    1. It's Minneapolis only. I was going to add @freshmn and @tcdailyplanet but they cover a larger community.
    2. Its not a single business. @Freewheel_Mdtwn didn't make my cut but @MidtownGlobal did.
    I wish Twitter had collaborative lists that spanned account boundaries. But they don't so I will take this on for now. If anyone knows of other lists like this, let me know.

    I would love it if you also subscribed to my list!

    Free USIW Wi-Fi hotspots in Minneapolis if you have a credit card

    Minneapolis_South_free_wi-fi.pdf (1937 KB)

    Free USIW Wi-Fi hotspots are supposed to be available around the City now (total of 117). I've attached the map for south Minneapolis. 

    I had trouble accessing the system in Standish Neighborhood Saturday morning with my iPod Touch. I was able to get to the login screen today at 26th Ave. S. and Franklin E. (northwest corner).

    You do have to have a credit card for creating the account although you won't be charged. (I really wish they could have figured out a way to do this for people that don't have credit cards and because I really don't like to share that information if I'm not actually buying something.)
