Not on the List
Forbes has released its
list of top 10 "up-and-coming tech cities." Despite all of the money we've been throwing at nanotech, AMD, and everything else tech, Albany didn't make the Top 10.
Not such a great return on investment... so much for "Tech Valley."

Albany, NY -- The Levees are Fixed
Something important we missed while we were paying attention to Katrina.
Dennis Roddy links Bush's handling of Katrina with his handling of Iraq.
Many people still refuse to leave New Orleans, and the mayor coldly decrees that police officers will no longer hand out water to those who remain. Forced physical evacuations are OK, but you can't deny the people water. The mayor also mentions that nearly 10,000 people could be dead in New Orleans, but the levees are finally fixed.
Massachusetts state government will no longer keep Microsoft Office file formats as standard, opting instead for OpenDocument. As far as I know, this is unprecedented.
Just as Jerry Rice, one San Francisco legend, departs his sport, another is ready to return, with his team 5 1/2 games out and a month to go. If he's even 60%, you have to like their chances.
