Technology Updates at Holden with Jonah and Corky

"Holden is still very much a place apart in part because of the satellite link - the very thin and slow thread to the outside world. Nonetheless, the goal here for computer technology is to facilitate business and give people more time to enjoy the environment, not to make people stare at a device all the time. The pandemic prompted adaptation. Technology is integrated into the Holden way and is facilitating what Holden does in terms of engaging people in this unique space. I'm not sure we could have envisioned this a year ago."Corky Searls is a retired geophysicist with a hobby in computer technology. His knowledge in programming, configuration, and security, helped the village maintain a sense of community, by using our network infrastructure, when state protocols required lockdown in our remote community. Jonah Mork Snyder graduated from University of Minnesota with a degree in IT Infrastructure and managed the help desk support for the campus. He has served as the IT Lead for the past year, helping to maintain, improve and innovate many village technologies.To learn more about Holden Village, visit: http://www.holdenvillage.org or to listen to more audio recordings visit: http://audio.holdenvillage.org.
