The Wireless Weblog has a nice interview with Joshua Kinberg, the New York-based 'Wireless Activist' who is the creator of the mobile WiFi access point 'Magicbike,' founder of 'BluetoothUsersAgainstBush.com' and inventor of the new 'Bikes Against Bush' project, in which a moving, spray-chalk equipped bike will automatically paint messages on...

RNC protests: Bikes Against Bush
organizer arrested 08/29/2004 02:07 PM
Xeni Jardin: An unverified post on an indymedia website says activist Joshua Kinberg -- inventor of a wireless, bike-mounted, dot-matrix printer for spraying protest messages in the street -- was arrested yesterday at the RNC in NYC. At the time, he was reportedly being interviewed by Ron Reagan, covering the convention for MNSBC.

Kinberg's invention allows users to spray messages transmitted to the bike-printer by way of the 'Net or SMS. Anyone have more facts on what happened? Link to indymedia post, Link to previous BB post about Bikes Against Bush, Link to August 02 Wired News story with background on Kinberg's invention, Link to yesterday's NYT piece on Bikes Against Bush, and link to a torrent identified as video coverage of the incident, via DV Guide. (Thanks, Patricia and el norm)

Update: BoingBoing reader Paul says, "It seems he didn't even get a chance to use his invention, save the demonstration for MSNBC which resulted in his arrest. Snip from repor t: "When Kinberg showed the police sergeant how the bicycle used a non-permanent spray chalk, the sergeant seemed to agree that it wasn't defacement, at which point Kinberg asked, 'Am I free to go?' After conferring about it, officers decided to call superiors, then came back moments later to place Kinberg under arrest and confiscate the bicycle."

RNC-NYC: Update on arrest of Joshua
Kinberg, Bikes Against Bush 08/30/2004 05:32 PM
Xeni Jardin: Snipped from MSNBC.com. Correspondent Ron Reagan was interviewing Joshua Kinberg when he was arrested yesterday ( Link to previous BB post for story background):

Released from the "Tombs" after police arrested me (Joshua Kinberg of Bikes Against Bush) I'm now sitting in the MSNBC trailer at Herald Sq., NYC, with Ron Reagan and Joe Trippi after spending 24 hours in the "Tombs" with several hundred Critical Mass cyclists, who were arrested the night before.

Joshua Kinberg: I was arrested while Ron was interviewing me about my invention-- a bicycle that prints text messages on the street in water-soluble chalk. While we were conducting the interview, the police stopped me and asked for my ID. After I produced identification, the police waited for their sergeant to arrive before placing me under arrest without stating the charge. I was doing nothing more than describing my invention to the media and explaining my disagreements with the Bush administration.

When I arrived in the Tombs, I was placed in a cell with around 30 other cyclists. They had spent the previous night in a location they were affectionately calling "Lil' Gitmo," a makeshift detention center on the West Side piers converted from a former bus depot. Lil' Gitmo had cells sectioned off with chain link fence and razor wire, and a floor covered in motor oil, transmission fluid, and other toxic chemicals. The cyclists detained there were forced to sleep on this hazardous floor wearing nothing more than bicycling shorts and t-shirts. Consequently, several developed serious skin rashes the following day. After 36 hours most of the cyclists had been released with a pending court date. Several had been arrested when specifically following police directions to exit the peaceful bike ride. Others had not been part of Critical Mass, but had simply been on the streets with a bicycle at the wrong time.

I was released after 24 hours in detention with a court date set for Friday. Unfortunately, all my equipment-- bicycle, laptop, cell phone, and custom designed electronics-- has been confiscated. Thus, the Bikes Against Bush performance, where I would accept and print messages sent from web users, is likely to be cancelled. A volunteer lawyer from the National Lawyers Guild is confident that my case will be dismissed on grounds of the First Amendment, but we will have to wait until Friday to see. A video of the arrest recorded and edited by Yury Gitman has been posted online (BitTorrent), and the story of my arrest has already been blogged on SlashDot, BoingBoing, Kottke, and JuliaSet.

Security Through Obscurity Thwarted By
Google 02/05/2005 09:48 PM
There have been tons of stories about students' private data accidentally being placed online, so yet another story about that isn't particularly newsworthy. However, what's amusing about this story, found by the Raw Feed is the response from officials at Johns Hopkins University to the information leak. The leak was first found by a student who did a Google search, and discovered her info was linked from the search engine results. So, with that in mind, you wouldn't really expect a school official to defend the "security through obscurity" practice, but that's exactly what he did: "The file was in a very obscure place. You would have had to gone looking for them." No, you would just have to use Google, which already did the looking part for you.

The art students in New York successfully pulled off their Wi-Fi bike stunt, but apparently just barely: They've built access points into bikes and planned to send an email to the mayor from a subway platform. They used two bikes: one above the stairs which used a cell phone network for backhaul and a second below on the subway platform which delivered the signal to a nearby laptop. They apparently just got the network working in time to send an email before the laptop's battery died....

Arrested 08/29/2004 12:43 PM

IndyMedia is reporting that Bikes Against Bush creator Joshua Kinburg - this is the guy with the bike that spray-chalks anti-Bush slogans behind his moving bike - was arrested while giving a demonstration of the vehicle for MSNBC's Ron Reagan. While a sergeant on the scene agreed that the wash-away spray chalk probably wasn't defacement of property, Kinberg was still arrested for an unknown charge. As of last night, he was still in custody without yet having been charged.

The Indymedia story also has a link to a torrent showing the arrest.
