Cool Tool, best WiFi hotspotter
I saw this in COOL TOOLS, and I thought I would share.

Canary Digital Wireless Hotspotter
Best Wi-Fi hotspot finder
Canary's hot spot finder is the best of the several stand-alone
Wi-Fi detectors that I've tried -- three of which I've gone so far as
to purchase. The Canary uses AAA batteries, rather than the button
cells that some detectors do (harder to replace in a pinch);
consequently it's not quite as svelte as some, but the extra goodies
are worth the chubbier, still-palmable housing. Canary's unit scrolls
across its 12-character LCD display the name, channel and signal
strength (4 bars is the highest) of the networks it finds, which makes
it truly useful for checking where your own access point's signal
reaches.
The Emergence and Impact of Social Netorks
I keep getting asked about social networks, what we do with Zed Tycho and why its so important. Here is a brief run down.Emergence and Impact of Social NetworksSocial software
supports the desire of individuals to form groups to achieve goals. In
2003 60% of all positions where filled via two channels, the Internet
and social software including employee referrals. The industry calls
this combination Viral Hiring, and Yahoo! Resumix estimates that within
18 months 75% of new hires will come from viral hiring (employee
referrals and social software). Humans are inherently social beings.
Human communication adds an exponential value to the network. The
ability for individuals to communicate and form social groups is called
a Group Forming Network. (GFNs).
The hottest hot sauce on EARTH... and I want some.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love hot food, esp. Chilli, I have to get my hands on this! -kevinFrom boing boing:
Pure capsaicin "hottest sauce science can make" is potentially deadly
A limited edition hot-sauce made of pure capsaicin is described as the
"hottest science can make, "like having your tongue hit with a hammer."
The sauce is 30 times hotter than the spiciest pepper and 8,000 times more fiery than Tabasco.
Diners must sign a disclaimer recommending “protective
gloves and eye wear� — but even sweating testers in safety gear were
blinded by tears for 30 minutes.
Online traction...providing content for what the users want to read
Online Traction-
Some people call it gossip, others sneer and say it is nothing more
than a fleeting trend. I'm still suffering with the flu to think too
much on my own answer but I thought this piece by Dan Gilmore was
priceless. -KevinFrom Dan Gilmore: Listening Too MuchIn
the 1980s, when the online possibilities of news publishing were
starting to become clearer, a smart man told me something that I
started telling other journalists: "One of these days, we're going to find out what people actually want to read."
Have patience with everything unresolved
I saw
this and thought it might brighten your day. We are all on paths trying to
figure this mess called life out.
Â
"Have
patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the
questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very
foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you
Rathergate the power of Truth
The power of voice. I did it. I spent some time going over the American Rathergate issue. I chose to first google the info and then follow it up at Corante. What
I was most amazed about was that a leading US News organization broke a
story challenging the very nature of a military record even going so
far as to say the President of the United States failed on his
abilities and shirked duty. Just before an election.
