Dutch Town Gets Wi-Fi
Dutch Town Gets Wi-Fi
12/02/2003 02:31 PMWinQ, a European WISP, has been working on a city-wide Wi-Fi zone in
Kenniswijk Eindhoven in the Netherlands since July. The network uses
Proxim APs and the Nomadix Universal Subscriber Gateway which enables
customer acquisition and service provisioning. The city center, cafes,
hotels and the railway station are already connected. The city council
uses the network to broadcast live city council meetings over the Web.
The city and WinQ are looking at the project as an experiment to see
how people will use the network. It's a great idea to use a wireless
network to allow people to be more involved in city government. These
large Wi-Fi networks will be used more with useful applications like
the city council broadcasts. The announcement isn't online yet but
should be up here eventually....

Weinberger asks....
My wife and I are taking 3 days of vacation in Chicago, starting
tomorrow. I've been there many times on business, which means I'm very
familiar with the airport and am fully qualified to operate the remote
in the hotel rooms, and my wife hasn't been there in 30 years or so.
So, we're going to do the tourist thing.
Outside of the obvious, any recommendations? (Three notes: Second City
is closed the days we're there, we don't eat meat and we don't much
care for the blues.)
[Joho the
blog]
I was born and raised in Chi-town Il. Here's a few highlights:
- Watertower = on Michigan Ave.
- Navy Pier = at Navy Pier
- Michigan Ave = the Miracle Mile
- Home of the Blues = Checkboard Lounge
- Ribs = Robinson's
- Italian Beef = Al's Beef (on Harrison, out by U of IL, Chicago
Circle campus)
- City Beaches = North Beach
- Zoo = Lincoln Park Zoo
- Museum = the Art Institute of Chicago (I went to school there)
- Grant Park = symphony
- Museum of Natural History = dinosaurs
That aught to keep you bust. I HIGHLY suggest an Al's Beef, hot
peppers - with provolone.
Oh yah during the summer, there's KILLER Italian Ice right across
the street from Al's - on Harrison. Over 30 flavors - totally uniqiue
- like nothing you've had before (even in Venice when you went to
dinner with Paolo.)
But Chicago doesn't have black squid ink.
And Maxwell St. is gone.....
And the steel mills.

Hey here's some research for you! Find out who Cap Streeter is and
why it's called Streeterville. He was an early revolutionary who
declared a seperate state - maybe it was even a seperate country.
Thne research Mayor Daley and bow your head and pray to the history
of poltiics in America. Without Mayor Daley we wouldn't have - Mayor
Daley, nepotism and George W.
Oh yah and look up the Chagall Mosaic at 1st National Bank. I
videotaped teh unveiling - in 1972. My first editing project.

Around Town: Applelinks
12/19/2004 02:51 PMApplelinks is a Macintosh portal site that covers the news and adds
its own opinions, "giving it more flavor and personality."
"We feel it's the Mac community that makes us important. We don't see
ourselves as a stopping point for Mac users, but as a channel to other
Mac sites," Kirk Hiner, senior editor of Applelinks told Spymac. "Our
news coverage, reviews, feature columns and even how-tos and such all
take this approach: 'Here's what we think, and here's where you can go
to determine if you agree or disagree.' This exposes our readers to
the wealth of knowledge and opinions within the Mac community, and
hopefully increases the readership of the other sites."
Applelinks is on Spymac's list of sites in the Around Town Tracker
(that can be found on the right side of Spymac). To add Applelinks to
your tracking list go to "Options" in the top right corner and then

Mark Frauenfelder:
I spent the last week in Carmel Valley, California. It was the first
time I saw a wild turkey. What an amazing-looking animal. No wonder
Ben Franklin wanted to make it out national bird. Great choice --
scrappy, colorful, smart. So much better than the monochrome Bald
Eagle.
While I was up there, I read this excellent story about Stuart
Thornton's trip through the towns of South Monterey County. These
towns used to be quite bustling until the 101 Freeway was built.
Pulling into a dirt
lot beside the store, the building looks like a gas station and store
from the ‘50s. Though the gas pumps are no longer there, faded
paint on the side of the white building advertises groceries, cold
drinks and beer.
As I walk in, a man carrying a handful of boxes walks up from a
storage room in the back. “Are you Marcel,” I ask.
“Yea, why,” he asks brusquely.
“I’m writing an article about South County for the
Monterey County Weekly,” I say as I start to perspire.
“I’m too busy,” he says as I glance around the
deserted store. “Besides, advertisement will draw people to see
what’s going on.”
I think that perhaps getting people to stop by his store would not
be such a bad thing. In San Ardo, people need money to survive,
right?
Though he refuses to answer any of my questions, Miranda does
allow me to look at his impressive collection of caps sitting on
wooden shelves that circle the top part of his store. While I take
photos, he stands behind me in awkward silence. I think about trying
to strike up a conversation again, but I realize it would be as
futile as trying to pump water from a dry well.

US torturers made screensavers out of
atrocity photos
05/08/2004 02:05 AMSalon's reporter in Iraq interviewed an Al Jazeera cameraman, a
civilian who was taken prisoner by the US forces and brutally
tortured.
"I first knew that they were taking pictures when I saw that one of
the computers had a picture of some prisoners as its desktop
background. One of the prisoners had a black hood over his head and he
was covered in cold water. I personally witnessed this event take
place. The man was screaming, "I'm innocent!" until he got sick and
his body got swollen from all the punishment," al Baz said. Cold
water, solitary confinement, swollen bodies and constant psychological
abuse are recurring images for the Al-Jazeera cameraman, who also
credits his tormentors with ingenuity. "They had all different kinds
of punishments and they changed them all the time. I begged them to
interrogate me again so they would know that I was innocent, but they
said no, that's it. All we know is that you're staying here."
