Appearence on the Kelowna Airwaves

Yesterday, between 9:00 - 9:30am, I appeared on radio station, CKOV, in Kelowna, BC. I was interviewed by host, John Michaels. We discussed the situation that BC Digital Divide is receiving a growing number of applications from the Kelowna area. We have the computers to provide them but no way to get them up there (about a 5 hour drive).

As I had hoped, the publicity from the program changed all that. We now have 2 - 3 people who will be able to help us get computers to the needy folks of Kelowna. And in the community is a pastor named John Kellogg, who is going to help us with the distribution once the computers arrive. What's most interesting is that Father Kellogg was a big time techie before he entered the seminary!

Ultimately I hope that a few people in Kelowna can form their own little BCDD "pod" so that donations can be received and redistributed entirely within the community.

People helping people, albeit of their own free will - my kind of socialism!!! :-)
