This year for Mother’s Day my kids bought me a Fitbit Flex. I got it setup late last week and have gradually increased my walking, both at home during the evenings and at work over part of my lunch hour.
Monday I headed out of my building and eventually ended up along the banks of Brush Creek (sometimes referred to as Flush Creek), which flows east along the south side of the Country Club Plaza. As you can see from the photo above, I will most likely NOT be retracing my steps on this route in the near future.

I’m not happy with the FCC. Time to write some snail mail.

Great quote from this article:
That’s why ‘big ideas’ were prevalent in the 1930s, ’40s and partly in the ’50s. People felt the future would be better, one way or another. Now it doesn’t feel that way. Rich people take nine-tenths of everything and force the rest of us to fight over the remaining tenth, and if we object to that, we are told we are espousing class warfare and are crushed. They toy with us for their entertainment, and they live in ridiculous luxury while we starve and fight each other. This is what The Hunger Games embodies in a narrative, and so the response to it has been tremendous, as it should be.”

Regulators should ask Comcast why cost savings won’t be passed along to consumers and what role the data caps have in keeping the average revenue per subscriber at a set rate. Compared with broadband rates in other parts of the world, it’s bizarre that U.S. wireline communications bills just keep rising.
My Internet provider is TWC. Twice in the last year my rates have increased but service remains lackluster at best.
I keep hoping Google Fibre will move west a few more miles so I can cut the cord to Comcast/TWC.
