So, I'm at this big Dean organizing event in a hotel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and I plug in my wifi card just for kicks. And — surprise! — it tells me I'm getting signal, which is surprising since the event and the hall don't have any wifi transmitters. So, I look at the properties of the connection:
This would be great except Joi Ito is some thousands of miles away, telling Sony executives what they need to know about the future of media, a fact I confirm with Boris Anthony, Joi's blogmaster who happens to be at the Dean thing. And, no, there wasn't really any wifi working, ad hoc or otherwise. Posted

I'm in Tokyo leaving for Hawaii today. I'm testing a new wifi projection technique I learned from a monk in Kyoto last week. I guess it's working.

Hi David,
Was good seeing you guys again and hooking up. :)
Joi: LOL. That explains that I guess... ;)

Looks like someone was connected to Joi's computer via Computer-to-Computer networking, and then when they opened up their laptop at the Dean place it was still connected to the Computer-to-Computer network -- even if it was the only computer on the SSID.
