Super stylin' glasses on the cheap

I try to keep this blog technology related but since every geek needs to look good for the ladies, I am letting you guys know about a site where you can buy super cheap (yet high quality according to many reviews I've read) prescription glasses. Why spend over a hundred bucks on glasses when you don't have to? Since I don't have health insurance (by choice), this is going to be great for me since I have to pay for everything out of pocket. I might even buy 2 pairs at these prices. You can get a pair of prescription glasses at zennioptical.com for as little as $8. It really doesn't get much cheaper than that. Zennioptical.com really is the #1 online Rx glasses store and has the lowest price progressive glasses anywhere. For more info, check out a more in-depth article at examiner.com: Eric's Review of Zenni Optical.

Google to deploy fiber optics!

Google "fiber for communities" - Google's new fiber optics project - is looking for a town (presumably having between 50,000 and 500,000 residents) to deploy fiber-to-the-home connections in. The connection will be up to 1 GBPS (yes 1 gigabit per second!) - that's insanely fast compared to my measly 5 mbps download speed. The fiber connection will be open to other service providers as well so you can choose which ISP you want to go with. Great- competition is always good and healthy in a free market - it drives quality up and prices down.

This is going to be a FiOS killer to be sure.
