Remember when there was going to be Internet in the air all around us?
I have been walking around the area of NYU Village north of SoHo (Large Italy?) for an hour trying to get some free WiFi and now I have apparently paid 1.5 Euros for some Internet because this is actually Sweden or something. Didn't Clay Shirky or Jeff Jarvis write a book about how the Internet was going to be everywhere and effortless and something? This always-fail prisoner's dilemma of thousands of locked Airport networks giving us cancer while not actually delivering Internet? This is NOT WORKING OUT, PEOPLE.
no Love in that club
I've set up such excellent security on my home wifi that I can no longer access it.
There is no free wifi at all around my apartment in Harlem. This is not the America I signed up for.
I could marry a man with a name like Emil Airport.
Try Bryant or Battery parks.
Or see here for more places.
Is "about.com" the ugliest web-site in existence or am I missing one?
I got no connection with Tyra Banks or Rosa Parks.
If that list thinks alt coffee still exists I don't trust it.
Whoever chose 'dontmesswithmyrouter' hopefully was aware that that's basically calling for trouble.
Even more annoying: Institutions like my university where technically wireless access is free, but it never works for more than checking your emails on a good day.
AND the company that was doing free wifi in the parks? The quit doing it in some of them? Or something?
But love is still all around us, right?
Love is in the air.

Is FollowYourDreams advice to the seeker of free wifi, or the saddest thing ever? "This way, every time I get online, I'm reminded to follow my dreams!"
The sad part is that unless that Fonera owner registered his, he's never going to see a single Euro coin from your use of his router.
Sacred Chow was a lame vegetarian place on Hudson Street but the dude sometimes gave me free food when I walked in a bunch of years ago.
I bet it's that same hacky sack guy!
