  1. DC is exploring a bid to host the 2024 Summer #Olympics! Sign up for more info at http://t.co/FOqPrmWruy #DC2024

  2. An amazing thing happened while I was away this weekend. The tower at 17th and Corcoran (Dupont/Logan Circles) finally got backhaul and is broadcasting LTE. Hopefully, more backhaul is installed this week and next. I bow to the backhaul gods!
  3. The District is the same as Arlington. When you're in the right neighborhoods, it is amazing how much better your phone functions. Looking at the maps, it looks like most of the towers are ready for LTE but just need the backhaul.... come on fiber/cable...
  4. I just entered to win a Macbook Air from @Gogo - you can enter too at: http://t.co/9ocfWbJyH9

  5. Ben Bernanke to Michelle Bachmann - 'This is the Federal Reserve, not Treasury.' #Ugh #USHouse

  6. RT @tyler_coulson: I watch in awe as folks with like a million Twitter followers use the power of their soapbox for #sharknado jokes.

  7. My brokerage account is now showing the transition to Sprint Corp. I elected to receive new shares in the company... so rally, baby, RALLY!
  8. RT @LOLGOP: Still waiting for those Tea Party rallies against the PATRIOT Act. Any day now.

  9. Well interesting development - the weekend Nextel vanishes, the NV (3G only for now) towers in the McPherson square area were accepted. Feel bad for anyone that had to hang out on any roof this steamy/stormy weekend but thank you!
  10. It has surely improved but it all depends on what tower you're connected and who else is connected with you. During the weekdays and commuting periods there just isn't enough capacity to go around. My dream is just that Sprint is just waiting for the Nextel shutdown, so they can bring up a new 3G core in my bubble that includes 800. One could dream.... Anyways, I bet the slowdown is because of backhaul/DC DCRA (permit issuer)/roof access to certain buildings near the White House. Comcast, AT&T and RCN are most likely providing some of the backhaul and I have no problem yelling at my contacts there.
  11. I do think it would be an interesting discussion into what is causing the specific delays in the DC core. If it is truly all because of backhaul - we could always have our elected officials add pressure to the offending organization. I'd love to get a job as a project manager for NV in DC but they are only hiring level III and the significant other wouldn't like me moving to Philly. Also for full disclosure, I work, live and mostly play in that big dead zone following 14th st NW between U st NW and G st NW. Just my luck...
  12. Illegal protest down 14th?

  17. My new @southerntide polos have arrived, now how about some short sleeved weather! http://t.co/ZcP3CQu4hf

  18. Sad. Go VOTE DC. "@timcraigpost: At least so far, DC Board of Elections officials say turnout is falling short of predictions. #four23dc"

  19. Around 9am: Paper ballot #90 at Precinct 17, brother was #92 - Get out and vote! #four23DC

  20. I believe the underground NV upgrades will be completed as part of the current wireless network upgrade that the rest of the carriers are still working on... so maybe in 2017. Anyways, I feel like any work in the District core has come to a complete standstill. I hope it is just backhaul issues and not the city slowing the process down.
  21. hi @vineyardvines, normally, I wear a slim-fit XL from Polo/B.Bros - is that comparable to your slim fit?

  22. Surprised SC let you in, @billmaher
