Wireless rocks

[Guest skrubber]

Last week during a trip to Florida I did what I have been meaning to do for a while. I bought a laptop and a router for wireless access. I LOVE IT. I am no longer trapped at a desk. I can surf the web and participate in the MC while watching TV. For those of you who do not have it - this is the way to go.

Isn't it just the greatest? You never have to be off the net again (if you're in a big city anyways). There are all kinds of [a href=http://www.wififreespot.com/]free[/a] wireless hotspots out there. Enjoy your new toys errr tools!

Maybe not for long. Have you heard about the new bill introduced into Congress called the Preserving Innovation in Telecom Act of 2005? Check this out:

I saw that shit. Cities have pretty good lobbyists too though, so I expect a real fight over this one. Municipal owned wireless kind of scares me, though, in many ways. Can you imagine discussing via IM or e-mail your fetish fantasy scene proposal with a prospective client, all the while knowing this info's flowing through and being logged to the city's routers and gateways, easily sniffable if u don't encrypt properly. Kinda scary stuff, if you ask me. Call me paranoid and give me my tin hat, but I don't want that particular Big Brother sniffin' around in my binness TUVM :o

WiFi

 

A while ago, I believe someone posted a listing of free hot spots. One excellent such site is: http://wi-fihotspotlist.com/ and another good source of information is: http://www.jiwire.com/

 

Using both (or other sources) is bound to help you find what you need in just about any city. I tend to just go to the nearest Apple Store, if there is one, but many cafes (non-chains, mostly) are offering it free as a service to patrons.
