First post-snow Monday Art.

Sprint… Sprint… Sprint. I love you but you’re killing me with this WiMax thing. Now a little more analysis of the situation paints a bleaker future for WiMax, our most reasonable hope for mobile broadband in the near future. All sorts of thoughts in that piece but I think it really kinda boils down to [...]

For Monday! For Art!
Ok… in the realm of the ridiculous, check it. Some study was made that showed that kids who’s names start with C or D tend to do worse in school than other kids. You know because somehow, having that initial makes them feel like losers who can only get a C or [...]

Well with the collapse of widespread muni-wifi and the questionable future of WiMax maybe the best we can hope for is the signficantly less ambitious free but sponsored wifi of the days of yore. CBS, por ejemplo, says it’s going to bring wifi to the midtown area between 42nd and the park - you know [...]
