Going, Going, Gone! The death of Sears

Sears is going out of business. Normally I don't cheer someone else's bad luck, but in this case I say good-bye and good riddance! I used to like Sears until they started getting desperate using outrageous predatory credit card practices.

Ther first time I opened a statement and saw that they increased the interest rates to 29.99% I went into shock. The smartest thing I did was cut up my sears card and then close the account. I couldn't take their pawn shop interest rates any longer. I'm pretty sure I wasn't alone in my disgust and countless others probably did the same. It's no surprise they are going under.

I have to admit I'll probably miss giving Crafstman tools for Christmas, but then again there's always Snap-On.

Other than that, someone tell me when the last store closes. I want to be there to help them turn off the lights.

Rosebud Fair 2009 is on RezKast.com!

Are you stimulated?

Is your rez suffering economically? Could your tribe use an economic boost to provide jobs AND build infrastructure at the same time? Then why not go for the president's Broadband Economic Stimulus grants? There will be over $7 billion available in broadband funds from both NTIA & USDA / RUS in three grant cycles. On July 1st, 2009 the funding agencies (RUS & NTIA) announced that funding is available NOW for their first cycle! You can find the grant applications and guidelines online . In addition, they are making it EASY for us to apply be hosting several workshops in the next few weeks. Grant writers, techies, council people, make your travel arrangements! Get funding for your tribal networks! Wi-Max! Fiber to the home! Don't miss out! The train is only coming through town once! And they won't come back to get you once you realize you should have jumped on it. Just pack up your duffle bag and go....

BTW, I will be at tomorrow's workshop in Billings, MT. You can register for online(see my Tribal Broadband Blog).

Let's Get Geeky

Under Obama's economic stimulus plan there will be $7.5 Billion to roll out broadband to rural communities. This is a rare opportunity for tribes that have missed out on opportunities to build out their communication infrastructures. I started a new blog dedicated to the cause.
