Bring Google Fiber to Madison!

Google recently announced an experimental program to bring ultra-high speed network access to select communities in the U.S.   Their plan is to offer 1 gigabit per second fiber-to-home access to communities with 50,000 to 500,000 people, and do it at a competitive price.  Sounds optimistic, but we’ll take it!  Netflix and HD streaming services would fly, online backup of large media databases would be more feasible, home and coffee-shop telecommuters would be more productive, among many other advantages.   So how can you help?

A couple weeks ago another developer, Corey Losenegger, and I were faced with a Flex project that required the user to select a week. A combination of drop downs for year and week seemed awkward, so we ended up trying to augment Flex's DateChooser. There were two main parts to this task, getting a single day selection to transform into a week automatically, and secondly to get the calendar to show that it was going to select a week instead of a day. You can view our source, but there are no guarantees on code quality. Use at your own risk.
