Not to ramble on about Live Earth, the upcoming global warming concert on July 7th, but there's an interesting Inland connection. Surfing through the concert's website the other day, I noticed a familiar logo. Turns out the company hosting the website is right here in Romoland of all places, down toward Temecula.

I wrote a story about the company, Affordable Internet Services Online Inc., a year and a half ago because it is completely powered by solar panels. Since then, the Wall Street Journal and other publications have had stories on the family-run business.

Phil Nail, the dad in the business, says Live Earth folks came to them. "We did no solicitation whatsoever," he said. "They said, 'We know that you're solar-powered and environmentally friendly, we want you to do this' and we said 'OK fine, you twisted our arm.'" Nail said they are expecting 500 million hits to the Live Earth website during its existence, expected to last about three months. "It's giving us worldwide exposure," he said.
