Not too much chance to blog for the next couple of days. I’m in D.C. at the CTCNet annual conference (the one we had in Cleveland last summer) and while there’s a public computer lab and wifi access in the meeting areas, there’s only expensive pay-per-day access in the hotel room… so time-wise, blogging competes [...]
Robert Goldberg is the president of Ohio Savings Bank. He also serves as the national chairman of United Jewish Communities. In that capacity, he was featured speaker at a support-Israel rally Sunday at the Jewish Community Center in Akron. According to the Beacon-Journal, here’s part of what he said:

I missed the announcement at Bloggapalooza (I was probably outside yakking), but I guess it’s official: Rep. Sherrod Brown Meets The Bloggers on August 12.
This is good news for all concerned.

A Plain Dealer editorial this morning calls on the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to replace Michael Vu with an interim Director, pretty much as I did in the “P.S.” to yesterday’s post. You have to assume that this idea is gaining ground among the city’s string-pullers.

So Ken Blackwell doesn’t get to decide Michael Vu’s fate after all — at least not directly. (Of course, since [...]
I duked it out with anti-NN spokesman Scott Cleland on this morning’s 90.3 at 9. Henry Gomez played the “middle of the road observer” (actually he started on the other side of the road but drifted my way as the program went on). Some excellent callers jumped in.
Listen to it all here.
(Cleland is a consultant [...]
This blog has called twice for the firing of Cuyahoga County Elections Board Director Michael Vu… in April and last November.
This morning, in response to a special investigating committee’s scathing report on the primary, two of the Board’s four members agreed. But with the Board split, the issue of Vu’s continued employment may end up [...]
I’ll be a guest on WCPN’s interview/call-in show, 90.3 at 9, tomorrow morning.
The topic: Net neutrality.
Other guests: Henry Gomez of the Plain Dealer and someone from AT&T.

“…the image of the burning towers in the ad is a still photo with computer-generated smoke added.”
U.S. News and World Report, around 7 this evening:
The controversial video of the burning World Trade Center towers in a television campaign ad for Ohio Sen. Mike DeWine is doctored, U.S. News has learned. The television spot, which has [...]
The PD reports that Lakewood City Council has approved an agreement with AT&T to allow the company to expand its optical fiber in the city, in order to offer “U-Verse” pay-TV service.
U-Verse, the consumer brand of AT&T’s “Lightspeed” fiber-and-copper system, has been piloted in San Antonio and is just beginning its commercial rollout in [...]
