Cory Doctorow: A Seattle wireless hacker rides a commuter train from Tacoma every day with a battery-powered WiFi hotspot in his backpack that's linked up to the Internet with a 14.4 144k wireless modem. Catch his train and get free WiFi on your commute.

The open wireless node can be found in the first car of the last morning train and in Car 403 on the 5:10pm return trip. Use SSID "FreeInternetAccess" or "seattlewireless" to connect - You may have to assign yourself an IP in the range 192.168.0.0/24 and use the Default Gateway 192.168.0.1 as the DHCP is sometimes flakey

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy 07/16/2004 04:50 PM
A few weeks ago I got Chrisalis Developemnt's WiFi Seeker, a convenient keychain-sized wireless network locator. Marware's recently announced WiFi Spy is a rebranded version of the same device, so it should perform identically.

To locate a wireless network simply press the button and watch the LEDs. When the lights stop sweeping back and forth, the number that remain lit will show the strength of the wireless signal. If the lights continue to sweep back and forth, you're not in range for any wireless network. Unlike other devices, the WiFi Seeker isn't fooled by other 2.5 GHz signals like microwave ovens or cordless phones, and it doesn't depend on 802.11 client activity to detect the access point. It detects both 802.11b and 802.11g.

The Nordic Concept Artist turntable is a work of audiophile art, both in form and apparently function. One vibration-damped cabinet contains the platter and tone-arm, the other holds the motor and phono preamp. It's just $15,500... not including the equally-fetishistic Airtangent 2002 air bearing tonearm at $11,500. Link (via Hy Phi)

Many folks wouldn't want to be reminded how easy it is to convert sparse input into a detailed profile that includes a phone number, a street address, a satellite photo, and driving directions. Re-entering the basic facts each time perpetuates an illusion of privacy. Yet the reality, for many of us, is that these facts are public.

Since I haven't told Google (or any other directories) to delete my records, I've implicitly given permission for Web applications to use that data. Let me now make that permission explicit. I'd be happy if a Web form made intelligent use of public information about me.

I'd be even happier if I could control the source of that data. Public information is a poorly defined concept, after all. There are online directories that still remember an address I vacated five years ago. I'd like to maintain the facts about me that I deem public. When applications need those facts, I'd like to refer them to a service that dispenses them. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Tire Tagz: Persistence of Vision for
Wheels 04/12/2005 07:44 AM

I'm not sure how many horsepower glowing Batman logos add to a car, but I'm sure these Tire Tagz are exactly the sort of thing that will soon be provided with pastel orange Mitsubishi Eclipses right from the factory. Tire Tagz are persistence of vision clips that plug right into your wheel, spinning amber LEDs to create a static image. The company claims they'll be legal on the roads, since they are the regulation amber color mandated for all side-mounted lights, but I wouldn't be surprised if you get a few tickets to go along with your stares.

To their credit, the Tire Tagz look pretty well thought-out, with a locking mechanism and bundled Windows software for creating and uploading your own patterns. When they launch this month (according to their site) I'd imagine they'll be very popular with tuners for a few months, or at least until Advance Auto Parts makes a $5 knock-off version. As for the Tire Tags price, that's anybody's guess—their online shop is not actually online. (Thanks, Steve!)
