Of course, we’ll do the reminder first – if you haven’t yet, go over to http://www.winanmri.com, look up Cooper Green Mercy Hospital, watch the video (and laugh!) and then vote to help them win an MRI machine that they desperately need. And then follow that routine every day through New Year’s Eve. Now for the other two voting opportunities:

First, you’ll want to head on over to How to Split an Atom and vote for realtorclix.com, a website designed by a local web company named Slamwire. They’re up for an Open Web Award in the niche social networks category .
Then you’ll want to head on over to LunarPages to cast a vote for our own Nicki Faulk’s WordPress template design. It’s pretty cool considering the time of year and all. You can even see the theme in action if you click on the image of it over on the LunarPages post (or you’ve already figured out that you can get to it from here too). You’ve gt until Sunday to vote in this one.
Travelogue: A tale of access (and laptops)
Screenshot from Lafayette Pro Fiber blog
Lafayette Pro Fiber Blog exists to provide a daily dose of information to those that support bringing optical fiber to the residents and businesses of Lafayette Parish in Louisiana using the Lafayette Utilities System. More on that in a little bit. The main reason that we’re mentioning this site is because of the post filed yesterday that uses Birmingham’s recent announcement about the XO laptops that they will be receiving to talk about the wider issue of bridging the digital divide. We normally stay fairly quiet on Sundays but thought you just might be interested in this.
It appears that the battle taking place for a fiber optic network is much greater than what can be explained for the purposes of this post. I’ll just recommend that you take a moment and check out how their effort is going.
