Wireless Wednesday for 4/15/15 - AT&T GigaPower and Adidas

Rick is back in town, but he was over at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, GA on Monday for the "Monday After the Masters Event" put on by adidas this year....  

But first, there also was a big announcement in Atlanta on Monday as AT&T and City of Atlanta officials announced that AT&T GigaPower launches in Atlanta and Sandy Springs...

Have a listen:



1.  AT&T GigaPower launches in Atlanta on Monday

Atlantans are now able to use some of the fastest internet around as AT&T, today, launched U-verse GigaPower in Atlanta and other parts of the metro area.

Per AT&T:

Imagine downloading 25 songs in less than one second, or before you can even crank up the volume. Imagine loading your favorite HD movie in less than 36 seconds, a fraction of the time it takes to pick which movie to watch.

Now, qualifying residents and small businesses can have U-verse with AT&T GigaPower in parts of Atlanta, Decatur, Newnan, Sandy Springs and other communities located throughout the metro area.

2.  Adidas  -  Rick was at the Adidas "Monday After the Masters" golf event at Reynolds Plantation and World No. 5 golfer Jason Day was there with noted golf teacher and former Tiger Woods coach, Hank Haney.

Adidas- company history - 90 years in busines..  Adolf "Adi" Dassler started to produce his own sports shoes in his mother's wash kitchen in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria after his return from World War I. In July 1924.
Adidas has grown into a high tech sports company with athletes like Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic and in golf, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia and Jason Day wearing ther apparel.

 

3.  Cool usb drives  - like the one given away by adidas yesterday at Reynolds Plantation

Companies are getting creative with the ways they get information to the media and general public.  Cool and unique usb drives are one of the ways with information about the company pre-loaded on them.

 

4.  Purpose of Adidas event at Reynolds Plantation on Monday which Rick attended

- Introduce media to new Adidas asym energy boost golf shoes
-  Diff shoes for your right and left feet depending on if you are a right-handed or left-handed player.

The uniquely built left and right shoes guide weight transfer, stability and power through the swing. asym energy boost is the latest in footwear from adidas Golf that highlights the revolutionary BOOST™ cushioning and incorporates advanced technologies to best support the athlete and their performance.

 5.  Adidas athlete and No. 5 in the world golf rankings, Jason Day was on hand yesterday to talk to Rick about the shoes and he was wearing the new asym shoes...

Day says the technology works and he will soon be putting the shoes into play for tournaments...
