Tired: wardriving. Wired: power rustling

People are getting arrested for using power outlets in public locations like train stations and businesses to charge their laptops. The Register calls it power rustling. Next up: for-pay electrical outlets in airports? I think it’s already being done but I can’t find the reference on my blog.

Wait! I know! What we need is an elaborate system of chalking based on hobo signs that could be used to indicate the presence of open, unmonitored electrical outlets.
