my sometimes-skeptical social commentary

I’ve been trying to plan a lunch meeting at a restaurant near work, and I want to show the other two guys at the meeting how to log in and do stuff with the web site I made for our community group, so the restaurant needs wi-fi. I haven’t found (yet) a comprehensive list of wi-fi spots for Buffalo, NY.

I may start compiling my own, but the problem is that it takes a lot of work to keep a site like that updated. I think the way to do it is to set something up with Google’s mapping API so that people can add hotspots via a map interface. If only I had paid better attention in the Java class I took, because that’s the language Google uses.

I’m sure I’ll find that someone else is already doing this… it’s the internet, is there anything new out there? Is there any topic not already covered?
