Groupon is this web service that sends out daily emails. Rumor has it, they’re the largest email listserv in the city of Chicago. I wouldn’t doubt it. They started here and are now in 45 cities across the country. The concept is, you can buy into sweet deals, if enough people buy, to restaurants, retail [...]
I just nominated our county for the Google Fiber project as well as signed up as a business. Here’s the website if you’re local with info on the whole project: Elkhart is one of the counties hit hardest by the economic downturn.

…will be when, at Digital Signage Expo, all signs such as the below will actually be digital. I’m just saying, there’s nothing as simple, quick to install, and cheap as paper. Note that the arrows on these signs swivel for maximum flexibility.

I was at an all-day planning meeting today along with 200 or so other community leaders to launch “Horizon 2.0“, a new phase of the Horizon Project which was completed in 2003. It’s a great plan, but the devil’s in the implementation. Some good speakers, including the former mayor of Indianapolis, Bart Peterson; Bob Jorth, [...]
From an excellent article by David Leonhardt in the NY Times, emphasis mine (hat tip: The Daily Dish): Either way, the job market will still be in terrible shape. The unemployment rate, at 9.8 percent in September, could conceivably hit 10 percent for the first time since 1983. When that happens, some economists are bound [...]
