Some of you out there know that I jump at the opportunity to speak to a crowd about not only my work with My Home 2.0 but also other projects I've worked on. Yesterday, I was invited to speak at my old school Paul Revere Middle School. I had the chance to connect with old teachers, and meet new ones. My mother is a teacher there, and I was actually a student of hers when I attended. I joked with the students about failing her class, and that got a few laughs.  I started out talking about My Home 2.0 which captures the student's attention, and once I have their attention, I present the math and science part of the presentation.

Middle School students are a blast to work with, and I've found them to be the most energertic amongst grade school students. Founder of the blog Thinking Foward Joe Bruzzese befriended me on Twitter, and shared with me some info on working with Middle School Students. Read on...

My fellow Philadelphians! Let freedom ring!

Liberty is defined as the condition of being free from strict control. However the city that houses the Liberty Bell has had its liberties restricted when it comes to Television Choice.

There is a revolution upon us and it is taking place on a piece of glass the size of a single strand of human hair. It is time that we stand up to the monopolies that dominate our choice for quality Television Service!

(AP)Thursday, November 12th, Verizon asked the City Council of Philadelphia to approve a 15 year video franchise agreement, allowing it to offer FiOS TV in the city. Councilman Darrell Clarke introduced an ordinance to give Verizon the right to run a cable TV service, a measure the council is expected to vote on by the end of the year.

For the good folks of Philadelphia, and the "Ph"ans of My Home 2.0 in Philly who have been watching our show, you are one step closer to having the FiOS power you need to "2 point 0" your home!

Alumni from the High School of Engineering Professions in Houston Texas (or HSEP) have formed a Graduate organization for their beloved Alma Mater. I--being an honored graduate of the program--extended my hand in helping bring the organization to life. Recent changes at the school may affect some of the programs that help so many students succeed. These changes, for example, have sparked protests to save certain falculty and ciriculum that if were not in place, I would not be the "guru" that I am today.
