Baltimore's Google Fiber team

It's official: the city of Baltimore is going full-bore after a Google Fiber project. (Not sure what I mean about Google Fiber? Check this out.)

I got tied up on another story this morning and couldn't make it to the press conference at City Hall, but it's good to see the city and our new mayor promoting this effort, which has really been led by some grass-roots geeks.

Some big names in the public and private sector are behind this push, including Tom Loveland (picture left) of Mind Over Machines, who was named the volunteer "Google Czar." (Now that's a title I can get behind.)
