Computer Commuter Idea goes to NYC

Thanks to Ann Higgins for sending me a fun story in Government Technology on mobile computer labs in NY City. …

Much like the lovable ice cream trucks that drive around neighborhoods and sell delicious treats, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is driving a van equipped with laptops, Wi-Fi and printers to communities in need of computer access.

It’s great to see that trends started in Lac qui Parle (the Commuter Computer) are catching on in other places.
