WOW - Mobile Networks Powered By Wind

This is a fantastic idea and one I have been pushing for! All they need to do is add WiMax to the solution and you really have a home run here!

This would be perfect to roll out in areas like Oregon and other parts of our vast wilderness!

I am sure SAR related agencies would welcome this level of technology to their areas. Can you imagine the difference in can make in finding someone?

Also there is tremendous commerce opportunity for states to interact with tourists in remote areas as well including advertising coupled with multimedia history of the area.

Douglas J. Reilly - RIP

Just heard Douglas Reilly lost his hard fought battle with cancer on December 23. John Jainschigg was kind enough to post a note on Dr. Dobb's. Here is the link:

Here is Doug's link to his primary site:

Most of his blogging links seem to be gone now...kind of a shame. You would think they would be moved and kept as some part of an archive. I think it has been a little over a year since he blogged actively. He is part of the family of software guys that were first gen microcomputer developers - boy things have changed. I definitely shared his passion about Delphi and we both gave in eventually to the .NET framework and Microsoft tools.

RIP Doug hope you can blog in the afterlife!
