“We’ve got it all, together” here in Cleveland, Ohio! And I'm not talking about the Nutcracker rats, either!
Stopping the insanity at Dewey's Coffee, on Shaker SquareSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 11/25/2007 - 21:41.
Susan Miller had mentioned a strong statement on cell phone use at Dewey's Coffee House, on Shaker Square, in Cleveland, and I happened to be here tonight and saw this posted on their front counter... it is thought provoking, and Dewey's is an excellent place... latest Sunday night free wifi coffee house I know in this part of town (10 PM).
SEEING THROUGH THINGS - XRAY PHOTOGRAPHY OF JUDITH MCMILLANSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 11/15/2007 - 12:49.
The Shaker Lakes Regional Nature Center has a photography club and last week Judith K. McMillan presented a (her first) power point presentation outlining her evolution from teacher to photography experimenter par excellence. Ms. McMillan has a voracious curiosity - producing mosaic photo images of a tire dump in Maine to stark black and white photos of bird nests in the CMNHIstory archives.

Buster Busting down barriers to justice at Justice CenterSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 11/06/2007 - 23:42.
I can understand why Jeff put up the sunny, happy sunflower header, on such a glum day, as I'm sure we'd all love a lift... but the reason we are feeling glum is not the weather or lack of flowers but the injustices we see all around us. My replacement header is not intended to cheer people up but to cheer on injustice-buster Buster in his pursuit of liberty and freedom to take pictures in public places and justice for all.
WiFi Comes to RoxburySubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 09/20/2007 - 20:07.
We're close enough to our move in to 1894 Roxbury, in East Cleveland, that we have had our DSL service switched over from Ohio City to East Cleveland. Whereas on Clinton, at W. 45th Street, there were several WiFi signals in the air, my new POP on Roxbury is the only signal in the digital darkness of this corner of East Cleveland.

FALLOUT SHELTERS AND RACCOON RABIES BAITSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 09/10/2007 - 09:46.
![]() A few days ago I saw the fallout shelter sign above still hanging on the outside of an old brick apartment building on Lee near Euclid in Cleveland Heights. Fallout Shelters were a massive US goverment hoax - the signs and the buildings were just placebos for public nervousness.

Ubuntu 7.04 fully certified, pre-installed and supported on a range of Dell productsSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 21:36.
I was up at the Ubuntu website downloading the latest version to my ThinkPad (from a mirror site at OSUOSL, which I hopefully thought would be Ohio State University Open Source Lab, but was of course Oregon State) and I noticed a promo that "Ubuntu on Dell now available in the UK, Germany and France" with support from Canonical... one promo said this is available in the USA as well. This is a major development for Linux and for Ubuntu, and for open source development in the world. For the first time ever, I am a Dell fan... I'll be interested how pricing will differ between comparable Dell Ubuntu and Windows boxes... especially after you add Office (v.s. free OpenOffice)... more below and here.

Is Medical Mart Merging With the Urban Design District Concept?Submitted by Kevin Cronin on Mon, 08/06/2007 - 20:18.
I grew up and lived in Cleveland and, other than school, stayed here until I moved away for about ten years. Since coming back home, one distressing thing I've noted is that decision-makers, at all levels, closely guard information, almost as if a Captain who would rather go down with the ship, than loosen up and perhaps not go down at all. The Medical Mart non-debate has all those strange dynamics. Is it possible, I wonder, if a true, public-private partnership on a Medical Mart/Convention Center/Urban Design District might actually make sense after all?
Film and TV Production Incentives - A Real Example From Today's Plain DealerSubmitted by Kevin Cronin on Fri, 08/03/2007 - 15:27.
Once again, Cleveland's daily is excited about the latest “drive-by shooting” of the film industry, reporting that 'visitors to the Rock Hall got an extra treat — watching Rainn Wilson, chief geek from “The Office,” shoot scenes for his upcoming movie “The Rocker.” Once again, however, we are missing the big picture ... literally. While one day's shooting in Cleveland warrants the media attention, the “The Rocker” will be shooting forty-five days in Toronto, Ontario.

Why is the Public Expected to Support the Medical Mall, a Model the Rest of Nation Seems to Be Running Away From?Submitted by Kevin Cronin on Mon, 07/23/2007 - 20:47.
There are many points regarding the proposed medical mart that still don't make sense for me, so I want to post this quick note... 1) At some level, the proposal is an effort to shift some marketing infrastructure, and perhaps some inventory control, expenses of some private companies to the public sector. So what are the current costs for those activities by the affected private sector and why don't we start with that as an amount that the private sector should be required to start with in estimating ways of allocating burdens? Otherwise, this isn't a partnership, it's a bail-out.

See map: Google Maps Who is saving our local history?Submitted by lmcshane on Fri, 06/29/2007 - 14:29.
Cleveland Public Library and Cuyahoga County Public Library subscribe to a database Newsbank that receives a feed from the Plain Dealer. The Plain Dealer articles are somewhat archived and indexed, but the Sun newspapers (published by PD) are not indexed, except by their own site (ditto PD for their article archive). The Sun newspapers are not included in this feed. For future historians and researchers, we need to push for better indexing and archiving of our local stories. The microfilm is kept at CCPL and CPL but how will we find stories such as this one in the Westside Sun News? Ohio City Chief hired by Stark.

Core Components to Regional Transformation using FOSS for NEOSubmitted by Sudhir Kade on Wed, 05/30/2007 - 08:21.
Can't contain the excitement on this emerging evolution. Why not celebrate a bit as we finally gain real traction after years of socially-conscious and sometimes stigmatizing suffering we starving artist-technologists know well. I feel we are ready for a RealNEO Rennaissance!

Art of the Day: Mashups by ClevelandSGSSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 05/26/2007 - 22:30.
I recently received an email from ClevelandSGS giving props to realneo, with a link to the ClevelandSGS space on Flickr. I hadn't heard of ClevelandSGS so I checked it out and was awed - it is an amazing assemblage of scanned historic documents and current photos of signage and scenes in Cleveland - a significant community asset in those respects - and a powerful gallery of "Mash-ups" not to be missed. But I still don't know what is ClevelandSGS. Do you? It is the Art of the Day, so read on

Ozzy and Observer two interesting new examples of Drupal sites doing heavy liftingSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 20:22.
It is always exciting to see powerful uses of the technology we use for realneo - Drupal. Derek recently pointed out that the New York Observer uses Drupal for their web presence and I just found a posting on the website of the originator and keeper of the Drupal flame, Dries Buytaert, that Ozzy uses Drupal - his label Sony uses Drupal. I'd heard that about Sony, but hadn't connected it with any of their sites before... this...
