The Sethmosphere

Jim Laurie took me tonight to see Good Night and Good Luck - a powerful and timely docudrama in which Edward Murrow tells it like it is. The correlation to the present could not be more compelling. I highly recommend it.

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.”

Visited with Dave Spaulding on the top of One Boston Place to install microwave antennas as part of USAi.NETs expansion of wireless internet into Boston. See Dave’s USAi.NET site here.

The roofdeck was on the 44th floor. Dave is planning to do a wireless link, point-to-point, from Haverhill. From the top of One Boston Place he can reach almost any rooftop in Boston.

An article on the efforts that John Michitson and I have been making for a regional Eco-Industrial Netwoking effort has been published in the October 3, 2005 copy of the Haverhill Eagle Tribune.

The article says, in part:

Eco-Industrial Networking, the practice he spearheaded with Seth Itzkan of Plant-TECH Associates, a Medford-based consulting firm, is geared toward making the region economically and environmentally robust.

In five to 10 years, he and Itzkan hope Haverhill and surrounding municipalities will be bustling with innovative and environmentally friendly businesses. By collaborating with one another, these business would be able to slash expenses and maximize profits.
