I don't wanna hear my records on your stereo/don't play me Leonard Cohen songs

Read an article that touches on something I am hoping to discuss this year.  Be prepared to share your thoughts on it next week.  

Interesting...

The event known as South by Southwest (SXSW) is one of the year's major music festivals, taking place each March-ish in Austin, TX.  Because the annual crush of people weakens the city's wireless infrastructure, an unaffiliated agency came up with a solution: Homeless Hotspots.  Essentially, the homeless shelter sets up residents to wear wireless routers from whom festival attendees can purchase wireless service.  The residents keep all the profits.  
   From the HH website:
As digital media proliferates, these newspapers face increased pressure. Our hope is to create a modern version of this successful model, offering homeless individuals an opportunity to sell a digital service instead of a material commodity. SxSW Interactive attendees can pay what they like to access 4G networks carried by our homeless collaborators. This service is intended to deliver on the demand for better transit connectivity during the conference. 

Thoughts?

For those of you looking for a new set of wheels...

Sean, given the stories you've told about your truck, I didn't think there was a more unsafe vehicle on the roads.  But I think I've found one...
