After serving as Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, Leon Panetta taught a course at Santa Clara University, his alma mater, about the White House.

He told me something I never quite fully understood then: he never used e-mail.

So I decided that instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself, maybe I should come up with ideas for San Jose to make it better. It seems that it doesn’t matter if you are living in a married or single hell-of-your-own-making, we all generally want the same thing: a cool, hip city that gives us plenty to do and to be proud of.

Once again our neighbor to the north has an intriguing proposal by the mayor of San Francisco. Stealing a march on San Jose, the true epicenter of innovation, Gavin Newsom has positioned this new program as a way to offer universal and affordable broadband Internet access to the city’s residents and businesses. Google has responded in a big way, promising free wireless Internet service. The Mountain View company has a pile of cash and is thirsting to make a big impact. This is important because it is unique and ground breaking.

Observant San Jose Inside readers, of which there are legions, will have noticed that we link to a variety of other websites. (link) For those of you who haven’t observed this, do not be ashamed.
