three times and one MRI. I am sure my insurance company will be happy
with the bill these have been invaluable in evaluating the before and
after results of my surgery and to track the healing progress.
Today while on a non-standard follow up to try and determine the
source of a some isolated pain I have been having they pulled out a
dozen images and did some quick comparison. They used a technique
where the 2 images are loaded and then major differences are pointed
out in affected areas. Being nothing was found they think I have a
nerve causing the pain or isolated muscle spasms.
I left the clinic feeling relieved that nothing had shifted and not
looking forward to taking the new prescription. For those of you that
have ever taken flexirol (spelling is probably wrong) you will
understand why I have not been posting much.

In ancient Japan, ninjas were often described as supermen, able to
fly, leap onto the roofs of tall buildings, climb anything... Some
colour was of course added by their enemies (who wrote the history) to
make them appear more fearsome - and of course, the ninjas did not
mind: it made their life a lot easier. Seeing those videos makes me
wonder the effect a trained ninja must've had on his enemies, trained
to combat on level ground and horseback.

Waterphobia in the modern age
Waterphobia in the modern age
06/22/2005 02:23 AMOn Friday my friend Rich asked for a ride up to the Wiscasset
airport (KIWI) on the
central Maine coast. He wanted to take his dad and I had already
arranged to practice approaches with a CFI buddy so it was fortunate
that the Cirrus had only "tab fuel" on board (26 gallons, good for 2.3
hours). It was an uneventful instrument flight up towards
Portland, mostly on top of a layer of clouds at 2500'. Once on
the ground at Wicked Good Aviation we petted the big Black Lab
and his 6-month-old puppy friend then borrowed the "courtesy
car", an old Cadillac that would have been called a gas-guzzler
until the SUV came along and demonstrated that 18 mpg is not
as low as a family car can go. After chatting with the
contractors who are fixing up a house on the peninsula, Rich said
"let's take the boat over across the cove to a restaurant." We
ferried ourselves out to the boat's mooring via canoe and had an
uneventful trip to and from the restaurant, which is next to an old
Civil War-era fort at the mouth of the Kennebec River. At the
end of the boat ride we had to ferry ourselves back from the mooring
about 20' to the beach via the canoe. I got out on the beach and
watched as Rich and my CFI buddy went back to pick up Rich's
dad. As soon as he stepped from the boat into the canoe the
canoe flipped over, dumping everyone and everything into the salt
water.
What do three average Americans carry when they are in a boat these
days? Cell phones, digital cameras, etc. In the 1950s the
total cost of this incident would have been a little time to let the
clothing and wallet dry. On Friday the total cost of the
electronic items destroyed was closer to $5000.

11/10/2003 10:53 PMThis Austin Statesman story ran last week; if you missed it, it's
worth checking out: Austin has a thriving Wi-Fi community, many of
whom believe that hot spots should be free. One group of volunteers
that will set up a hot spot for venue, sometimes using donated gear. I
talked to Rich MacKinnon, the founder of Less Networks and a driving
force behind Austin’s free networks movement, and was impressed by his
passion and drive. While this article points out that the free hot
spots in Austin are often more crowded then the cafes where you have
to pay to get online, I still think that ultimately there will be
space for both free and fee. The trick will be offering something
worth paying for in the fee sites, such as added security or
guaranteed bandwidth....

Free and Easy in Austin
11/03/2003 11:13 AMAustin's free hotspot locations grow: This article implies that Austin
is unique, and while it does have an interesting confluence of several
trends -- and Schlotzsky's and Wayport are both headquartered there --
there are dozens of free locations in other large cities as well. It
seems to be more of a coalescing community attitude, however, that
free hotspots make more sense than for-fee ones that's provoked this
and similar articles. The Schlotzsky's survey, by the way, is months
old, but the company keeps bringing it out. They have both free
computer access (via Apple iMacs) and free wireless at their test
stores, and their survey showed that six percent of visitors to the
stores during the survey came because of wireless access. At $7 for an
average customer purchase, that equates to $100,000 in gross
additional revenue per store, not overall, as the article implied. But
Schlotzsky's should really revamp those numbers given the massive
publicity they've received and the length of the experiment. [via

Institute, a research unit of the University of Texas, is making a
presentation during an Interactive Conference going on in conjunction
with the festival. The institute will talk about how everyday people
can benefit from connectivity. Howard Rheingold, who wrote Smart Mobs:
The Next Social Revolution, will also speak at the conference. Other
coverage of the Austin Wireless City Project's efforts include a story
written by its co-founder, Rich MacKinnon. He offers a really great
description of all the parties that benefit when a venue offers free
hotspots. He gives the example of a free hotspot at an Austin
restaurant and describes how a consultancy made money to install the
router, a printing company was paid to make new coasters touting the
free Wi-Fi, MacKinnon's company Less Networks pays a hosting facility
to support the hotspot and a PR firm is paid to promote the free
hotspots. He notes that even the big companies make money here,
including Kinko's which printed a new sign, CompUSA which sold the
access point, which was made by Buffalo, and SBC which provides the
DSL connection. The list actually goes on, offering a strong argument
for the business case behind free hotspots. [both links via Less

Podcast: On Site with Wayport's CEO in
Austin
Podcast: On Site with Wayport's CEO in
Austin
03/19/2005 02:24 AM
During my
visit to Austin this week, I stopped by Wayport and recorded this
interview: David Vucina, CEO of Wayport, the leading
hotspot infrastructure builder, reseller network, and managed services
operator in the industry, lead me on a tour around their new facility
in Austin, Texas. I have to say it's quite impressive. I wondered
aloud why all the functions of the company were in one place:
warehouse, hotspot assembly, customer service, network operation
system, system management, and administration. But after taking the
tour, it was pretty clear: the company is more like a big IT
(information technology) department for hire than, for instance, an
Internet service provider.
There are times in this virtual world when it's useful seeing
firsthand how things are done. For instance, I was able to see the
assembly facility Wayport is using to prep the equipment that goes
into the field. They have a separate area for assembling custom
McDonald's boxes because they're putting so many of them together. The
assembly manager said that they had shipped over 400 hotspot boxes of
all kinds in a recent day. They're typically handling site surveys for
25 to 100 sites per week, and that isn't slacking off.
A customer service operator gave me a tour through their CRM software
that lets them slice and dice problems in a variety of ways, such as
all previous problems that hotel room or how that particular user
authenticated onto their network. This is typical stuff for any robust
customer service/technical support operation, but the tools are quite
nice and the Tier 2 reps have access to very level technical details
about the access point or access port.
In the 30-minute audio interview I recorded with Vucina, we talked
largely about the hotspot world, Wayport's position in it, and what
the company will do when the U.S. becomes largely unwired. We also
spoke about the nature of Wi-Fi in complement to 3G cellular data.

Austin Works to Trump Starbucks
02/19/2004 12:43 PMPartners in Free Wi-Fi, Austin Wireless, and Less Networks are
offering free music to hotspots users in Austin: The groups have been
working together to help local venues build free hotspots. The
offering starts today and will extend through the end of SXSW 2004,
the music festival. Hotspot users, who don't pay for access, will be
able to listen to more than 500 songs for free. Users must have the
iTunes player and the songs are available through Apple iTunes music
share. Less Networks sees this as a one-up on an earlier Starbucks
offering where visitors could listen to a CD for free. The groups have
built 25 locations in Austin since September and have 3,600 registered
users. Around 100 people log on to the networks every day. Workers
don't charge venues for the help in setting up the networks or the
software, which lets venues manage the hotspot....
