Elite Technologies WiFi Project, Drawball.com, Pixlr.com

These three things recently came to my attention while I was conversing with others.

First up to bat is Elite Technologies, based in Terre Haute, Indiana. They are a group of computer enthusiasts that focus their energy and skill on wired and wireless networking among about ten other listed capabilities. Their business staff consists of volunteers so far.

They have an benevolent outreach project that began in 2007 and aims to construct a WiFi network for everyone in the Wabash Valley. People are donating portions of their bandwidth and a section of their buildings in order to mount antennas. They state originally was going to donate a large sum of cash towards the project but subsequently backed out. They can be reached at: http://www.elitecommunications.biz/
Keep up the good work guys, I like projects like this.

Next, lets switch over to the arts.

A link to drawball.com came to me pretty late tonight and I was intrigued. Apparently it is a website that hosts a large interactive flash canvas that you can mark up at will. A wall for virtual graffiti, claim some real estate while you can. I of course wrote MAVERICKBLOGGING.COM on there somewhere, see if you can find it. (Near 12 O’clock)

Additionally, pixlr.com has a web-based image editor that I will definitely fall back upon if I ever find myself without access to a proper program. Next time I am caught unprepared or don’t want to install a program on the machine I am using, I will certainly hit up this website. http://www.pixlr.com/editor/

Apparently Adobe has an online version of Photoshop, but it requires a subscription. I haven’t looked into this one at the moment, but will.

I will get back to what I need to be doing now, but felt that these were some noteworthy links. Contact me if you know of other cool stuff I should check out.

  1. Thanks for the publicity about our wireless project. We like our projects too, and thanks to everyone who has donated bandwidth and roof space for equipment and such. Without you all we would still be stuck at ground zero.

  2. Being the current president and one of the original founders of the ETech project, I’m glad we have someone out there who stumbled upon our website and was happy with our mission. Thanks for writing the blog. :)
