The guys at Gizmodo posted a pretty humorous idea for you geeks out there. Instead of going with the standard naming on your WiFi router at home like Linksys or 2wire3401, set it to something that your neighbors will always see when they are looking for a connection. Plenty of suggestions abound (plenty of ideas are NSFW), but here are a few of my favs:
ThosePeopleIn1583LookLikeTerrorists
IReadYourMail
IPoisonedYourDog
GetYourOwnDSLCheapskate
And a couple of my own for good measure:
YouReallyShouldn’tBeLookingAtThat
IPouredSugarInYourPrius’Tank
NiceAcidWashedJeans
I’llShareMyInternetIfYou’llShareYourCable
DoYouSwimInMyPoolWithoutMeKnowingToo?
There’s a good chance I will be starting a rotation of great WiFi names in the near future. Any suggestions?
I think the economy is hurting. It could also be due to the fact that they open 4 stores on every major street corner in my town. That doesn’t seem like really good business sense.
Just took the Inbox Zero approach to clearing out the dead weight in my email client. Not quite at zero but getting closer and feeling less burdened by it on every delete.
Matt Harding has been pretty internet famous for a few years. In ’03 he quit his job and decided to travel for a while on the money he had saved. While out, a friend talked him into doing some dumb little dance that he would do while at work. Deciding it funny to themselves, he continued dancing for the camera in all of the other places he went. Once home, he edited and posted a video of his dancing around the world and it spread like wildfire.
Because the Internet is so great and people just throw money at it for no reason, Stride Gum saw the video, contacted Matt and then funded another video (or two). If you’re following along, that means Matt gets paid to travel and dance.
His 2008 video is out, in HD no less. While I don’t really understand it, I do love it and think it is pretty well produced.
If you make it to the :50 second mark, you’ll probably stay to the end.
