Tireless 
| | Alan Reiter has a started a blog on wireless, joining Glenn Fleischmann and others on that front. The Wall Street Journal also has a front page lead story this morning (the link is here is for subscribers only, I think) about how Jim Selby has unwired Aspen by saturating it with free 802.11 WiFi wireless access for any computer with a wireless card. |
| | I'm wondering if WiFi is as far as our wireless imagination can stretch. With Open Spectrum we can add enormously to what's possible here, in both reach and bandwidth. Kevin Werbach has been thumping on the issue (see the link above, plus this one). And I thumped with what I thought was a pretty good piece at the Linux Journal site. But it didn't get one comment. Now I'm wondering what it's gonna take. |
Discovaria
| | Finished putting Christmas lights on the house tonight, supervised by the kid. |
| | Then he wanted to hear "Puff the Magic Dragon" on the computer, so I fired up Limewire and crossloaded the song from who knows where in a matter of seconds (@ 158kbps, it said). Then he asked for La Bamba. I nabbed both the Richie Valens and the Los Lobos versions. The kid likes mariachi music, so we grabbed a few more Los Lobos items, including a coulple of mariachi numbers. What an incredible band. All due respect to the mariachi stuff, our quick favorite became Evangeline, essentially a Cajun number. |
| | Then we went to sleep on the roof looking at the stars, bathed in warm Santa Ana winds that poured over the mountains from the desert. Saw a bunch of shooting stars, too. |
| | [Later...] Sure enough, the launch went fine. Those are the pictures, above. |
