Sea kayakers are a hearty
breed, born of the sea and prone to yarring and yawping at storms.
Whereas they once had to depend on arcane skills like "looking at
clouds" and "watching the Weather Channel," the Summit watch's
barometer allows them to tell when the storms are coming and even
includes a digital compass and a little icon that tells you if it's
going to be sunny or rainy. Plus it has a thermometer.
This review is aimed mostly at water sports enthusiasts but they've
added just enough geekery to make it palatable to everyone.

Hilarious story (several weeks old, sorry -- been traveling) about an
experiment in which a San Francisco Bay Area 5th grade class listens
to Radiohead, then draws what they hear. Some of the resulting images
look like they could pass for actual Radiohead album covers. Snip:
"We will play a career-spanning selection of Radiohead songs; the
kids, equipped with Sharpies and blank sheets of paper, will simply
draw whatever the music suggests to them. We don't even give them the
name of the band. They don't know anything about Radiohead, the
mountain of criticism, the mythology. Their thoughts and
interpretations are pure, unsullied, literally unique.
They are also extremely bizarre. The kids consent to this experiment,
if only because [teacher] Mitsi [Kato] tells them to. They do,
however, immediately request that we play Sean Paul or 50 Cent
instead. 'This is not hip-hop,' Mitsi says. 'I'm not asking if you
like it.' She doesn't have to ask. They don't. "

Wardriving as a Proxy for Wi-Fi GPS
Location
Wardriving as a Proxy for Wi-Fi GPS
Location
05/11/2004 04:34 PMQuarterscope converts Wi-Fi cards plus a wardriving database into a
virtual GPS receiver: A few weeks ago, Wi-Fi Networking News talked to
Ted Morgan, the founder and president of Quarterscope, a company which
had just won an award at the cellular industry's big trade show for
location services, finishing behind well-established Ekahau.
Quarterscope's product is software that uses a database of wardriving
records that it matches against the signals received by a Wi-Fi radio
to produce an approximate set of coordinates, like a virtual GPS.
"What got us started down this path is the density of public and
private hot spots," Morgan said. "No one realizes just how many of
these access points has been installed. They see the sales numbers,
but they don't extrapolate the fact that people are going home and
plugging them in." Morgan said that they have primed the pump of their
database using existing information from research groups, hobby
wardrivers, and collective databases. "We're aggregating from lots of
different existing sources today," he said. Wardriving uses
"stumbling" software like NetStumbler to record all of the network
names and unique access point hardware addresses at regular time
slices, like every second, combining that information with GPS (Global
Positioning Satellite) receiver coordinates tied into the same laptop
or handheld. Quarterscope is starting its own stumbling efforts by
installing wardriving devices on vehicles in metropolitan areas that
drive random paths, such as delivery vans. "If you have somebody who
is scanning for a full day, in metro areas, they can scan over 5,000 a
day, particularly in downtown areas," Morgan said. Oddly, he said,
certain kinds of vehicles don't work because they drive similar routes
every day, such as police cars. "if you really look at what a cop does
all day, it's pretty revealing." Morgan said that they've had legal
advice as to whether passively scanning or pinging for a beacon
violates any laws int he U.S. "We've gotten consultation on the whole
process, and it’s very clearly within legal bounds," he said.
"If we have any concerns, it's more on a perception side of things.
You can go to the FBI Web site and they very clearly state that
passive scanning is fine. The problem is if you connect into
somebody’s network." Quarterscope's software generates a virtual
serial port on a Windows system, and uses the NMEA GPS protocol. it
works with a variety of mapping...
Book Review: WarDriving
Book Review: WarDriving
05/27/2004 06:24 PMNobody likes to make enemies, but I have to be honest about the
dollar-to-content value of this book: Let me be clear from the outset.
I don't know any of the authors of this book, except by reputation,
and have nothing but the highest regard for their technical knowledge
and their achievements. The folks who wrote WarDriving: Drive, Detect,
Defend are experts about most of what they write about, and offer
great technical insights and tips throughout. That said, I can't
recommend this book primarily because the best advice is already
available on the Web for free in much the same form; chunks of the
most practical early part of the book are repetitive to cover
different operating systems or scenarios with the same approach; the
middle part of the book comprises a 60-page-long set of anecdotes with
long code extracts; and the last part of the book features security
advice that's somewhat strange focusing on commercial software and
hardware that's obscure and hard to use and mostly out of keeping with
the kind of audience that could possibly be interested in this title.
A factor that led to book bloat (520 pages, no CD-ROM, $49.99) is the
lengthy reproduction of code, sometimes double spaced that a reader
must be expected to input rather than download or copy and paste from
a Web page. Further, many of the programs seem too idiosyncratic to be
of general utility, arguing against their inclusion in the printed
book even if other programs were printed in full. For fairness's sake,
after reading this book a few weeks ago, I sent the publisher's
publicist contact my remarks and a list of errors found in the book. I
was promised some follow up and didn't get it, so the statute of
limitations of waiting for a response to specifics has ended. I should
also make it clear that I have co-written a book on wireless
networking which has practically no overlap with this book. In
general, the book is best at collecting and providing documentation on
the trickiest aspects of scanning for, recording, and defending
against wardriving and Wi-Fi network cracking. Some of the areas on
defense are the strongest in the book, although other areas seem
highly misguided. From the first page of the book to the end of
Chapter 7, page 243, it's at its strongest. It's a cogent, how-to
guide to installing and...

mass for the website to provide printable maps, in addition to

Entry #2,500
06/17/2004 05:49 PMLast September, we celebrated numbe
r 1,000. About two months later, we got to 1,500. Apparently we were too busy to celebrate number 2,000,
because that one slipped by before we noticed.
So, here's 2,500, which is cool for the sole reason that my goal
for the site has always been 5,000 posts. For a long while, I managed
to keep up 10 posts per day, but then my job got the better of me and
I slacked off a bit. For the last 30 days, we've been averaging 3.33
posts per day, which seems really low to me. If you take out
weekends, we get up to about 4.
At this rate we'll hit 5,000 somewhere in February 2006. I'll
still be here. I hope you will too.
