On Wireless

Morpheus: "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

Neo: "I can't go back, can I?"

Morpheus: "No, but if you could, would you really want to?"


- The Matrix


My sister and I were talking last night about how her life has changed with a laptop. She bought a Powerbook G4 Aluminum a few months ago, and she commented on how in a way it's like caring for a child: you have a bag of things you need to carry wherever you go, and you begin making choices of where to go based on available facilities.


This is something that I discovered a few weeks ago, while I was doing some internet cafe hopping in downtown Mountain View. Dana Street has great atmosphere but no power, while Red Rock has power, but isn't as great. Verde Tea has wireless, but is too noisy and too packed with tweens and has no power.
