Helping out Fathers & Family Expo for #TBT

25 Apr

I was able to stop by the Fathers & Family expo this weekend to support ThinkBigTopeka. I met up with Brendan Jenson this afternoon with one of our Topeka loves Google signs. We had an outline of our sign for kids to color on, we’re also taking names to add to our email list. We’re pretty certain that Google is going to give Topeka a site visit, we have several big things lined up for when we get that call. We’re also actively trying to clean up the parks and other green places in Topeka by supporting events like Takeover/Makeover. I more or less just chit-chatted with Brendan the whole time, I had to pack up and head over to Washburn University to pick up Leo and Alissa at a volleyball game. My wife’s sister coaches for Seminole State volleyball. Speaking of Washburn, I guess the great Dick Vital is coming to WU. Should be a good time, I’ll have Leo so I won’t really have time to make it, but if you’re in the Topeka area, I would suggest checking it out.

Here are some pics from the Fathers & Family show. (click for more detail)

Google.com changes to the Topeka logo for April fool’s

01 Apr

If you haven’t been following us, we started ThinkbigTopeka in February and it’s really been a huge success! We have over 16,000 members in our facebook group and close to 1,000 in our facebook page. We started off as a group to lure Google to come to Topeka, but we’re not stopping there. We’re going to be a public forum for positive discussing in Topeka. Something we had started TransformTopeka for but things got out of hand. We’re hoping for better results with ThinkBigTopeka.

I think we’re off to a good start, check out google.com for results.

Bring the Google Fiber Network to Topeka #1G4Topeka

23 Feb

We want the Google Experiment in Topeka

I’ve been helping with a cause here in Topeka Kansas. We’re trying to get Google to lay their fiber network all throughout our city. Google has announced that they are going to lay 1Gbps fiber line in some test cities. This will be 1 Gigabit of download directly to your home; you can use Google as your IPS of stick with who you have now in your area. If you have a second, I would greatly appreciate it if you would nominate Topeka Kansas. We have a website up and a Facebook group of 6500 members as of this posting. We only started this a week ago, the support has been outstanding. You can submit videos; I’ll include a few for you to check out.
