unixronin: Front view of the Caer in summer (House)

The forecast snowpocalypse has so far not materialized. It was supposed to start snowing here between 0700 and 1000. It's now 1300, and we have ninja stealth snow; when you look out the window it's not visibly snowing, but if you get up and look outside, there is actually a light dusting of snow on the deck.  About enough to draw pictures in with your fingertip.

It is reported that GOOG has plans to roll out a gigabit fiber to the home test project later this year.  They plan to connect "from 50,000 to 500,000 people"; this article doesn't say where those first connections will be, but I'm guessing it'll be the SF Bay area first. They have declared that they intend to sell their own Internet service offering "at fair and competitive prices", and that the network will be open to third-party ISPs.
