By Robin Wu on 26 August 2010 - 6:44pm

Since you already know that ZeroDivide was awarded Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) funding last week for our Generation ZD Digital Literacy Program, it's time to talk about the seven great organizations we are partnering with in this effort.  Let's build in a little western states geography lesson as well and start from Hawaii, cross the ocean to the Pacific Northwest, go southbound, and then move slightly eastward.

Okay, so as you've probably heard by now, ZeroDivide last week received two federal stimulus funding awards totalling more than $2 million.  We've been interviewed about these awards from Honolulu to Seattle, as have our terrific local funding partners in the six states where we will implement our work.  The awards cover two pretty different types of work, both of which highlight ZeroDivide's expertise in working with underserved communities - but in different ways and for different target populations.

By tim on 30 July 2010 - 10:25am

Can someone develop an app that goes through all of the available apps and finds me an app that I really need?  I mean, Koi Pond is pretty, and definitely helps to soothe the soul when you're stuck on the bus or subway or in bad highway traffic (hmmm...is feeding the fish on my Koi Pond app while driving the same thing as texting while driving?  If so, disregard this last sentence if you live in a state where texting and driving is illegal).

Where were YOU at 2:29:10 pm PDT today?  If you were in the San Francisco Bay Area, you probably felt the tremor that rattled windows, shook cars, and sent many an amphibian into a midafternoon tizzy (as far back as 373 BC, from Greece to China, there are documented accounts of toads and frogs fleeing en masse from earthquake epicenters as much as three days or as close as 20 minutes prior to the seismic activity itself happening).  Luckily for those of us fortunate enough to live in a region (unlike Haiti, for example) well-fortified against earthquake activity, today's tremor . . .
