OpenWRT, new A900, and Joanna Newsom
I am finally getting around to re-designing my network at home. For a long
time I had my wireless locked down, only for the reason that I don’t want my
stuff sniffed. I am a big proponent of sharing and openness. I found a great
HowTo that can turn my Linksys
WRT54G’s into hotspots with a built-in VPN server. All hail to the OpenWRT
firmware. This will let me open up my wireless network to any who pass by.
My dad’s cell phone died. He was still using my old Motorola v60i phone on the
old legacy AT&T network. I am going to add him to my Sprint plan, and here
comes the good part. It is a great chance to buy a new phone for myself, and
give him my old one! Yay, new phone. I really wanted the new Chocolate by LG,
or the RAZR. Both really hot phones. But Sprint doesn’t have either. ![]()
So I picked the next best phone they have… the Samsung
A900.
It is almost as hawt as the RAZR, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Now, I
just have to wait for it to ship.
I am totally digging Joanna
Newsom. She has a totally strange
voice that grows on you. I heard Bridges and
Balloons on
Yeast Radio quite a few times, and fell in love.
Since then, I have bought the whole album. Check it out.
