Denis Leary and The Leary Firefighters Foundation have donated a fireboat to the Boston Fire Department. The new boat will be named “The Norman Knight”. Leary created the foundation when his cousin and a childhood friend was killed during the 1999 Worcester warehouse fire.

The City of Boston is currently looking for a non-profit to help build it’s wifi network. The idea is to incorporate city, university, and hospital fiber and bypass expensive fiber from traditional providers. If successful anyone with a laptop and wireless card will be able to surf for free. Sounds great! Sign me up.
