11/18/2003 03:18 PMThe jury is still out on whether or not cellphones cause brain cancer,
but let's just say that the latest research indicates that it's not
looking so good. Unfortunately, Federally-funded research that might
be able to give us a conclusive answer to all this isn't expected to
be completed until 2011. Just in time for the massive epidemic of
brain cancer that's predicted. Read [Via WiFi Networking News]...

sts Say Sunshine May Prevent Cancer, which is interesting for two
reasons. As the parent of a kid who never goes outside un-greased, and
with sun-related skin problems in the family, I care about this whole
issue of the pros and cons of sunshine. But a few paragraphs in, the
science-for-sale dimension starts screaming out from between the
lines. It turns out that the research from the some of the people
talking up the benefits of moderate sunshine is funded by the Indoor
Tanning Association, while on the other side the Sun Safety Alliance
(funded in part by Coppertone) is backing the research of the
all-sun-is-bad party. Is there anything left that’s not for
sale?

Marchetto, the New York-based illustrator who chronicled her battle
with cancer in a comic strip called "Cancer Vixen" which you can see
in the current issue of Glamour.
In the cartoon version of her life, Cancer Vixen attends a fund-raiser
for a breast cancer book and spots a woman who has covered her smooth
pate with a chic silk scarf. "How stylish is that Pucci headwrap," she
comments to a friend. "Maybe I should've gotten the heavier chemo."
Her friend warns her not to joke about such things. Moments later, two
women with closely cropped hair accost Cancer Vixen, wondering why she
still has long blond tresses.
"I-I-I did the lighter chemo," a shrinking Cancer Vixen stammers.
"Change your doctor! Change your protocol!" one woman screams in
response. "You have to be aggressive and bomb the hell out of your
body. ...I did," the other adds.
"Some of the moments were not funny when they were actually happening
to me," Mrs. Marchetto recalled. "But my mom would be, like,
'Material, material!' "

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy
Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy
07/16/2004 04:50 PMA 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.

Country-wide WiFi review
Country-wide WiFi review
03/19/2003 10:42 PMI took a bunch of flights a couple weeks back and thought I'd be
able to enjoy my downtime between flights catching up on email and
reading the web. Since I don't know of any central site that tracks
such things (is there a "geek airports" list with availability and
price, like the geek
hotels site?), here were my findings:
San Francisco (SFO) - New media business capital
of the world and no wireless.
Chicago (ORD) - The business capital of the
midwest, but not a wireless signal in sight.
Boston (BOS) - Major business city in New England,
second only to New York City in the region, but nada on the wireless
coverage in the terminals I sat in.
Austin (AUS) - Finally! Wayport access cost $5.95 for 24
hours of connectivity. Two years previous, it was free, but $5.95
ain't bad and I got an hour's use out of it.
Denver (DEN) - AT&T coverage through their "GoPort" service.
A 24 hour connection costs $9.99. I had a few hours in Denver so I
decide to do it, filling out this signup
application, but I get a web server error upon submittal. I
checked my credit card and wasn't charged for the $9.99, but I did sit
in Denver connection-free due to their app.
It kind of shocks me how few aiports offer wireless access, even
though much of airline travel is business related. It's an easy
business model too, you just buy a $50/month DSL line and throw some
base station hardware up for everyone to use, then start making 5-10
bucks a head, per day from customers. I also saw Microsoft tablet PC
kiosks in Denver, as well as a booth hawking Intel's new Centrino
product. SFO also had a Centrino display, even though SFO doesn't
offer wireless access. It was interesting to see businesses such as
Intel and Microsoft understand the value of engaging business
travelers, even though the airports themselves do not (I also
wondered, now that Google put money into Blogger, would they see value
in selling blogs to business travelers in airports and why don't they
have kiosks in major hubs too?).
Last year while flying, I found only two other airports offering
wifi access: San Jose (SJC) and Dallas (DFW). One other odd finding
was paying $5.95 for wireless at one wayport-equipped airport
(austin), then having a stopover in Dallas (also covered by wayport)
required a separate $5.95 account, even though I was within the 24
hours originally purchased.
As a complete aside, I noticed on my six flights that I was
surrounded by giner ale drinkers. Sure, once in a while I run into
someone that loves fresh ginger, or I find a non-cola drinker that
insists on it, but my rowmates on four of the flights were drinking
it. Everyone was asking for it. The staff was running out of it.
People were getting testy when they went without it.
The data's a bit of an outlier, and I have the feeling I missed
some trendster proclaiming it as the miracle drink du jour. So what's
the deal with it? Is it the new Atkin's Brau? The favorite juice for
sugarbusters? Did Oprah plug it as one of her favorite products out of
the blue?

Cambodian hybrid motorcycle/WiFi network
01/26/2004 01:11 AMIn Cambodia, WiFi-equipped motorcyclists pull up to schools, download
all the email, drive to the next village, and dump off copies of
locally-destined mail, picking up that community's load and delivering
it along to the next town.
It is a digital pony express: five Motomen ride their routes five days
a week, downloading and uploading e-mail. The system, developed by a
Boston company, First Mile Solutions, uses a receiver box powered by
the motorcycle's battery. The driver need only roll slowly past the
school to download all the village's outgoing e-mail and deliver
incoming e-mail. The school's computer system and antenna are powered
by solar panels. Newly collected data is stored for the day in a
computer strapped to the back of the motorcycle. At dusk, the
motorcycles converge on the provincial capital, Ban Lung, where an
advanced school is equipped with a satellite dish, allowing a bulk
e-mail exchange with the outside world.
