For new visitors

Whenever Doc Searls posts a link to my weblog I feel like I have to clean up the place, greet new visitors.

Here's the story - besides working on projects in the Maya region, primarily in Chiapas, Mexico, I'm looking for bandwidth for a community wireless network in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. With me so far?

First step in the Wi-Fi plan is building a comunity center to house the The Lower Eastside Girls Club and other groups. We have site control of a city-owned lot, where we "broke ground" this summer for a farmers market every weekend. When the building is completed, it will have a green roof, with antennas giving away free broadband to the housing projects and surrounding neighborhood.

Check the archives in the right column for more of these and other stories. Go ahead, poke around!
