Sign of the times.
My laptop is set to scan for wifi signals automatically. There’s a simple pulldown menu (yay mac!) that shows me the strength of the signal plus any other signals it’s picking up that moment.
When I checked my airport connection this morning, I noticed two other wifi signals. By the time I got around to doing the screen capture you see up there, one of the signals had disappeared and another had shown up in its place.
Ever since I moved to Madison in 1986, people have been bragging about how we have the highest boookstore per person ratio in the country. According to a 2004 study we rank 4th. Not too shabby.
In any case, it’s obvious that there are a lot of readers here in Madison. My neighborhood is a mix of single family homes and 3-flats. Add an affordable city-wide wifi network to the mix, and you get multiple wifi surfers within yards of each other.
I love this town.

I dunno, bek. The list changes all the time. Right now we’re only picking up hal23 which must be the coop. I’ve seen up to 4 or 5 different signals at a time, but can’t remember the names. What’s your network called?
The flower preservation info is going in the next post. You rock.
i’m surprised my network doesn’t show up! we’re only 100 feet away!
