Public Airwaves

I just learned about a really important issue, and signed a petition about it.

The federal government is on the verge of turning over a huge portion of our public airwaves to companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast--who will use them for private enrichment instead of the public good.

These newly available airwaves are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionize Internet access -- beaming high-speed signals to every park bench, coffee shop, workplace, and home in America. Phone and cable companies don't want this competition to their Internet service--they'd rather purchase the airwaves at auction and sit on them.

You can sign the petition I signed here - urging the government to make sure the public airwaves are used for the public good:

Playlist 5/24

Back from Chicago with the new Carry the Zero crew. Thanks again to Tom for all the sweet sounds. I wish him the best in California with the new computer gig.

This may look like it is all over the place (and it is) but the song to song flow was some of the best.
