My friend John Pugh sent me this link last night … I liked it.

Someone posted to a mail list:

A few weeks back I was a party
and someone brought up a product which enabled you to hack into
wireless networks and scan for them similar to Netstumbler. I can not
remember its name or find it using search engines.

What was great, was the response:

I wanna go to a party with you. I’ve never been able to talk about
anything like that at a party. At least not with someone who was
interested in it.

It is a funny sign of the times, when so many people are
becoming so aware of technology. Of course, it also could be a
sign of the location. My other friend Erin Quill indicated that
of course in Silicon Valley this would be a commonplace conversation.

Next week we’ll be having a 4th of July party up in West Yellowstone
with a lot of friends. Of course we’ll be outside bicycling,
hiking, visiting Yellowstone park, etc. with a large group of families … most who have parents that work in high tech.

Of course … out there in the middle of the wilderness … I’ll be on the net the whole time.  There is wireless
Internet access up there … I found it last year using NetStumbler …
