Big Brother

MSNBC is reporting the Microsoft is up to something that some will consider no good and some will applaud. After you read the article you should contemplate what they can accomplish with this technology. My concern is that thru software attrition they will program out those features that gives us the freedom to control our data. But then again I

Wireless Connectivity via a Tin Can

Finished feeding the kids lunch and I now have a empty beef ravioli can.. Let's see let me get on the web and turn this can into a public wireless connection point. Some people are too cool. When I get home I am embarking on putting my own tin can network up.
