Get Connected Alameda County hosted a free Education, Sustainability and Digital Technology Expo at the Alameda County Office of Education on Saturday, Nov. 19.

According to the Alameda County Office of Education, “the Expo is the first county-wide collaboration between the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) and the k-12 education community. Organizers stress the need to tackle what's known as the digital divide from multiple angles — addressing critical gaps in access to technology as well as quality online content and skill building.”

Today PG&E told me that about 3,000 customers (homes and businesses) in Newark and Fremont were…Read More without power from 7:57 p.m. to about 11 p.m. (I think ours went out a few minutes before that and I'm sure ours came on before 9 p.m. I suppose maybe some of those 3000 folks were out longer as they brought neighborhoods back up gradually, but my guess is that some bureaucrat guessed at the beginning that the outage "should" last 3 hours, and that became historical "fact.") due to a "device failure." (Now that's informative. My guess remains that wind was involved.) They called and left a message on my Comcast voice mail to let me know the power was out and that it should be back on by 11 - but my phones require power so I didn't get the message until this morning. I just called PG&E to change the number they call with such notifications to my cell, but they were able to clarify nothing else. Anyway, in case you were wondering, that is what PG&E now says happened.
