Wireless Musings
Speaking of wireless everywhere… last year on our way to defcon (in the death-race caravan), we had 802.11 in the car for all the laptops. I thought about how cool it would be if we had a couple of directional antennas strategically placed throughout the caravan to provide coverage for all the cars.
Now, this would be even cooler if lots of cars did this, not just in a caravan setting. It would give new meaning to the concept of packet routing. “Hey, you - the Xterra. Can you take this email with you, and send it on its way if you find a public internet connection somewhere down this road?” The latency would be terrible, but for a packet network which would allow outgoing data readily and possibly incoming data if the nodes were densely packed, it would be pretty cool.
