Life is like a box of Legos® ...

"Sometimes they get stuck together, sometimes they get chewed on, sometimes they get lost, but in the end, they always seem to fit together somehow."

I have to admit I was surfing through the blogs on blogger and I saw this quoted. I'm not sure if it belonged to the blogger or came from somewhere else...frankly whom ever said it first-thank you.

I am a huge fan of Lego's® and I have been since I was a young child...I only really stopped playing with them for a short time until my little ones started up with them-now I'm a closet builder and not-to-reluctant 'Daddy will you build this' kind of guy.

That isn't why I chose to start my blog with this. I chose this because this describes my business. For every naysayer, for every skeptic this is the truth. You may not understand my vision, you may not even begin to understand it but rest assured it does fit together.

At the end of the day, I am working toward a singular vision-where all my blocks fit together. So to all of you individuals, institutions and otherwise who are unsure of how Lego blocks go together-go learn how to play well with others before you come to play with me.



2012: I have failed a business, tried my hand as a stay at home dad, been unemployed and recently tried to start a wireless practice inside my employer's company.

The time is now. No more excuses. No more doubts. I am back.

...the time is now.


I have three children. My oldest is 18 and heading to the Marine Corps. He was raised on texting and video games. When he watches TV he plays Call of Duty while texting and talking through his throat mike to his friends online who are all doing the same thing while listening to music from their iTunes library.
The need for broadband continues to grow. If my oldest is any indication of normal teen usage (which I am afraid he is) than it is only going to grow and grow as he matures and interacts with the digital environment in which we live. I'm in the business of bringing broadband to the world so I won't go on about the attention deficit disorders being created by one's inability to focus wholly on one task at a time (multi-tasking has it's limits) but rather on the fact that equal access to information levels the planning field across so many fronts.
I believe that as a nation and a member of the global community it is our responsibility to create access to all forms of information so as to better the greater good. In fact I started my company to enable digital media, to be the underlying fabric which weaves the web together....after what seems like eons the time is now. The availability of low cost technology (WiMAX) and hardware, a general willingness to adopt/use this technology and an administration that is at least attempting to stimulate the deployment of various technologies (including but not limited to WiMAX) to allow universal broadband has created the momentum once hoped for since 2004.
For those who may have missed it-For our nation's economic recovery, we cannot rely on those that created the problem to repair it. Universal access to broadband creates jobs, redistributes knowledge and generates discovery.
