I watched this last night on NASA Channel. It was cool enough to make Shuttle Launch's interesting again and not just another happening. TankCam Rocks!. [ via Skylights.org ] It's the second set of links on the NASA page. Only a minute and a half of footage, but damn, that is cool!

Wi-Fi Driving: Harold Gilchrist wonders about putting Wi-Fi into cars so that as you drive through clouds of Wi-Fi access, you pick up a variety of information about the places you're in. I look at this as another in the class of opportunistic networking ideas: equipment that, when a network is around, regardless of the speed, it starts sending and receiving spooled activities.

Not having flow since before 9/11, I'm not sure about the airports these days. I'm sure you rather not spend any more time or money than you'd have to in Denver, or anywhere else. Denver airport switches to paid model: Jim Thompson, long-time wireless industry guy and a man who knows where the bodies are buried and skeletons closeted, wrote in to note that on passing through Denver a few days ago, he spotted a pale blue sign "proclaiming the existence of 802.11b (Wi-Fi) service at the airport, and inviting me to sit down and login...The service is called GoPort...The webpage (above) says that DFW, SEA, SJC and AUS will come on-line soon." Nokia built out Denver, as well as Vancouver and Ottawa, and the airport authority told me last October (2001) that the network was tested out and ready to go in July 2001.

This goes to a previous post of mine and is related in some way. Maybe from now on we'll all sit home, blogging, and watch the games on TV instead of sitting out in the bleachers. Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for defeating the Atlanta Braves this evening and advancing to the National League Championship Series against the St Louis Cardinals. What a cliff-hanger, what a surprising ending. And thanks to Dan Shafer for blogging the play by play. That made it even more interesting.   [Scripting News] 6:52:05 AM    comment []
