Tune in, blog on 
Watch Time Fi
| | From today's Time Magazine: Will You Buy WiFi? Answer #1: Not if it's free. Answer #2: Not when so many companies, individuals and municipalities are making it free. |
| | Shipping companies were the first to see the value of Wi-Fi in warehouses; FedEx estimates its Wi-Fi-enabled workers are 30% more productive since they've been unleashed. Hospitals and college campuses came next. Today 57% of all U.S. corporations, including all of the FORTUNE 1,000, have at least a small-scale Wi-Fi network... |
Radiations
| | I'm on The Linux Show right now. It streams in Real, mp3 and ogg, so you should be able to get it on your webio. |
More bloggio
| | Wayne Robbins deconstructs what's become of WNEW-FM. Note that the URL under that link is to www.wnewfm.com. Right now it redirects to a station called "Blink" that currently occupies WNEW-FM's old dial position (102.7). Like Lou says, blink and it'll be gone. I also learn on Lou's site that Atlantic 252 is gone, replaced by the RTÉ on the same longwave channel. Apparently, from this page about offshore pirate stations, the station's been gone for some time. Shows you how long it's been since I bothered to listen when I've been over there. |
| | That last link makes me think that all of what we're doing here is Pirate Journalism, a term that currently rates a whopping two documents on Google. |
Orbit achieved
| | Sputnik has come out with its first hardware product: The AP 120 wireless access point. It's an enterprise thingie with auto-configuration (plug one into your LAN, it figures out where to get control commands, puts up a dynamic firewall, and immediately becomes a smart but unobtrusive member of the corporate hive — all while putting out a nice little wi-fi signal). Dave Sifry (Sputnik co-founder and main tech guy) tells me the $185 price gets you the equivalent of a Cisco number selling for $800 or so. Sputnik is selling it even more cheaply to OEMs and giving away the firmware for free. I'm sure a market will follow. |
There's an "i" in Technorati

It's even more nuanced than it appears
| | One minor quibble. Jonathon says, |
| | Doc is absolutely correct to suggest that "all our politics proceed from two radically opposed notions that are nonetheless equally true" (though I would have preferred the word "valid" rather than "true") and that "neither is correct in every case, and both are biassed." But then, in a curious elaboration of his argument, he apportions all the blame to the Right, letting the Left off the hook. |
| | I wasn't apportioning blame or letting the Left of any hook. I was pointing out the advantages, in this war, of the Right's natural preoccupations with the dangers in the world. Yes, leftish organizations have done awful stuff in China, Russia and Cambodia. But the varieties of totalitarianism involved in Jonathon's cited cases are long since discredited and rather irrelevant to the current war, which is a project of the American Right — and which is framing, and winning, one argument after another. |

| | Over here on the OS X box, Software Update just gave me a shiny new copy of Safari, now at 1.0 beta (v73). Main improvements: tabbed browsing and auto form fill. Here's Mark Pilgrim's take. |
Oh Tax, it's Shit Day
| | Just an excuse to screw with a headline. We did our taxes months ago. This is what being married to a smart woman does for a guy like me. Annoying and avoidable obligations get miraculously relocated into the past. |
