Social Networking and FOAF

Ben Hammersley talks about FOAF in an article published in the Guardian: “Our online cocktail parties will be instantly mapped by who knows who, and our business relationships might just get a little more transparent (imagine knowing who your colleagues all know – what an interesting change that might be).”

I’ve had my FOAF file for a few weeks now, yet I haven’t made any new connections with it so far. So, feel free to link to my FOAF (http://www.hatch.org/static/foaf.xrdf) I’d love to see it in action.

Portable WiFi sniffer

iDetect Technology: “Wi-Fi Sniffer, WFS-1, detects Wi-Fi availability by the press of a button. No longer do you have to boot up your laptop or walk around with your laptop turned on, hence reducing the risk of hard drive crashes. Pressing the button on the Wi-Fi
Sniffer will tell you whether access is available.”

Getting a new Mountain Bike

About two weeks ago Ted and I demo’d a Cannondale Scalpel 2000 and Cannondale Jekyll 2000. Personally, I didn’t care for the plush-ness of the Jekyll. I suppose this is mainly due to the fact that I still ride and love my Gary Fisher Mt. Tam with the Genesis Geometry. Nothing climbs like it.

I rode the Jekyll with the rear locked-out in many of the flat sections and climbs. I didn’t get a chance to ride the Scalpel, but Ted was a different rider on that bike. Scary in fact. So he’s sold on the Scalpel; without riding it, I think I am too. That’s why I didn’t push to ride it [yet].
