Art and Technology --Arcata's Poet Laureate and Wi-Fi

Two matters come to mind that should be pursued. The first relates to my art and cultural agenda. Arcata's own poet laureate. Does this better Arcata? Absolutely. Is it the most important issue we face? No. But Arcata is more than a town that just survives from day to day. Art is the soul of any good town. The search for and then the admiration of our own poet laureate are good things.

Now to technology. I was just reading about Google Wi-Fi-ing its hometown Mountain View, California. Arcata needs to move forward with free Wi-Fi within the city limits. Take your laptop around just about anywhere in the city and it seems that you already can get a wireless signal. City sponsored, it would be reliable, available everywhere and free.
