Warning: GlobalErie.com is the h4x0rz…
Lookin’ like GlobalErie.com might need to check their comments and other commonly injected areas for some nastybits.
Report from Google Safe Browsing doesn’t sound too awful, and it’s definitely not intentional. Some less than decent folks are injecting potentially bad scripts into GlobalErie without their consent.

Local Review: Uptown Browns for Pizza
Girlfriend and I tried out Uptown Brown’s tonight after she read the great review on GoErie.com by Andrew Kochirka.
Lived up to his description, we had a great meal. Andrew was also spot on in my opinion on Mama Mia’s Pizza on Peach too.
We got both the chicken bacon ranch and the philly style pizza’s, both were great. Service was good, one of the owners stopped over and chatted with us. Very welcoming atmosphere!
Recommended, we’re gonna go back for sure, they have daily specials and a decent website (tough to find though). The owner recommended the pepperoni pizza, she says it’s top notch and that she gets the pepperoni from out of town… no further excuse needed for us to get there again soon!

I didn’t even realize that you got bonus gifts and did the survey last month just on a whim… When I returned home from a business trip I found a box on my porch about the size of a beagle.
Inside were 2 (two!) power strips which feature that cool “master power” plug that will turn off all the other devices attached to the strip. Several (like 8) compact fluorescent light bulbs, two LED motion-detecting night lights, and last but not least 3 low flow faucet taps.
To ship all that crap to my house must’ve at least cost them $7-10 bucks!
The LED night lights are really cool too (it’s this exact model). They have a both a motion detector and a light sensor in them so they only turn on at night and only when someone is in the room walking around… The packaging states that they’ll cost about $0.25 a YEAR to run and have a lifetime warranty on the bulb.
Where to learn about the politicians…?
So I would like to vote tomorrow but have little to no opinion on these PA candidates. Anyone recommend a good unbiased site to easily digest each candidates platform? I tried factcheck.org but after two seconds of looking didn’t find what I wanted.
Any strong opinions out there?
YourErie.com fixes their menu system!
ZOMG.
YourErie doesn’t explode all over my Chrome browser anymore. Still a clunky relic of 2002 but it works a little better now!
Desktop organization succeed
Awesome.
Millcreek Township Website is Down
Ruh-oh… someone wanna tell Millcreek that the site is down?
I can only hope it’s down for good cause, like a redesign.. current site kinda blows chunks.
BTW, still have gotten ZERO response on my question about Google Fiber from both the City of Erie or any Millcreek supervisor. Way to be responsive to your citizens!
Google Fiber for Erie: Day Three, no gov’t response.
Not much to say. Day three since sending off e-mails to local gov’ts with no response.
Google Fiber for Erie: Day Two, no gov’t response.
Well it’s been a little more than 24 hours since I dropped an e-mail off to the City of Erie via their website, Erie Regional Chamber, and e-mails to every Millcreek Supervisor.
Local Gov’t: 0
Erie Regional Chamber: 1
Kudos to the Erie Regional Chamber who responded within minutes and informed me that they’ve done their part and submitted a response as an organization/group..! This is great!
Boo and hiss’s to both the City of Erie and Millcreek, haven’t heard a word from either of them.
Fiber Race: 'Topeka to be Google, Kansas'
We aren’t doing enough obviously….
I’ve written to the Mayor’s Office and Millcreek Township supervisors to see if any action has been taken at the local government level to submit an application. We’ll see how long it might take to get a response (if any).
If you haven’t done your part yet please fill out the residents portion available here.
Update 1: Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership is on the ball! Matt over there wrote back to me quickly and informed me that they went ahead and filed their request as an organization!
We’re still not sure on local governments… I’ll update this post if I hear more.
Update 2: I’ve gone ahead and created a Facebook group to try and capture some momentum up and gauge if we can get more than a few dozen members to show some support!
