THIS is SO Cool!

Pilfered from slashdot: Bunny writes "The City of Dayton, Ohio announced a plan to make all of downtown a WiFi hotspot - and as of last week, the network is live. This makes Dayton the first Ohio city to offer free WiFi access. Approximately one square mile of downtown is now live, including Fifth Third Field, the Oregon District, Webster Station and RiverScape. The WiFi project is a public/private partnership not funded by taxpayers, and comes at no charge to the end user." (According to the linked story at WHIO-TV, the city is actually paying about $5,000 per year, with advertisers picking up the rest of the tab.)

No kidding! While, I'm not a fan of the large amounts snowfall (Not to mention how humid it freaking gets in the summer... IT'S TRUE! That is NOT a myth!) but Ohio rocks. Hell, if Ohio had better weather I'd probably never have moved away. Okay that's not entirely true but yeah, Ohio has gotten a bad wrap for far too long. You wanna talk about shit places to live? Try Arkansas man! It don't get much worse than that!!! Beautiful yes, things to do... notsomuch. But Northeast Ohio has it all man! Yeah for Ohio... Gooooo Ohio (She starts singing... "Whats round on the ends and high in the middle...") I'll stop now.
