Little Tokyo Unplugged

Was just down at Las Galas in Little Tokyo, enjoying a chicken bowl and some free wifi, courtesy of <a href="http://www.littletokyounplugged.org/">Little Tokyo Unplugged</a>. Would've written this posting from there, but my sister IM-ed me and we chatted about stuff while I ate. Just another example of what's cool about free municipal wifi. I was consulted by other museum staff when they were talking about it, and I pushed hard for the idea. They did a good job, except for the login screen - it works for web browsers but will be a problem for browserless devices like Skype phones and the like. Anyway, free wireless is not such a huge thing yet, but we'll be seeing more and more wifi-capable devices in the future, and having wifi is another reason to visit a place. I wish there was an org like the <a href="http://www.personaltelco.net">Personal Telco Project</a> down here in LA tho..
