Not one but two really cool things today
Wikipedia, a collaborative project to produce a complete encyclopedia from scratch.
via wood s lot.
What a neat thing to do. If I can think of anything I actually know about, I’ll be sure to write. I dunno that much about anything really, it’s a damn shame. But I know some of you do, write an article, willya.
Then Eric AIMed me this link just now:
me: what is it?
Eric: I am sitting in New World Coffee on 84th and Lexington. Someone in the building upstairs has put an Apple Airport in a tuppaware container and hung it out the window, after hooking it to a cable modem. He publishes the connect info on that website, so I can just sit here with my laptop, on the net at blazing speeds!
me: ohhh – so these are all the people with airports that are really generous?
Eric: Yuppers!
me: that rocks
