All you tech guys out there already know Google is working on an experiment to provide up to 500,000 homes with blazing fast 1 gigabit per second broadband. Many cities around the country have been doing a lot of PR in an attempt to be the chosen city. Topeka, Kansas went to far as to rename the city Google, KA for the month of March. Duluth, MN responded by making a parody video in which all first born children will be named Google or some variant. In my opinion, however, Portland is doing the best marketing.
Hopworks Urban Brewery, a local organic brewery, will be releasing their Gigabit India Pale Ale. The New School Beer Blog hypothesizes it will simply be a new name for their traditional Organic IPA. Regardless, I love the idea and will have to look for some when it is released!
