I’m currently sitting in the UK’s centre of all things Wi-Fi, Brighton.
Specifically, I’ve been in Grand Central, a pub opposite the station, for a couple of hours now, where I’m taking advantage of their free Wi-Fi connection to catch up on some e-mail and have a chat with a few pals and business contacts on IM. I’m even getting a bit of writing done.
But I’ve noticed there are problems for the solitary Wi-Fier – how do I put it? Sometimes you need a wee-wee, and you don’t want to leave your laptop unattended.
The answer, according to my friend Paul Silver is a T-shirt with a kangaroo pocket, so you can stuff your laptop and associated valuables into it when you need to answer the call of nature. Perhaps it’s an idea for the looseconnection.com Web site (the folks who set up this wonderful free Net access).
I’m afraid the conversation then took a turn for the worse… with the Wi-Fier’s catheter/hosepipe for those who seriously never want to leave their seat.
A tip for 2004′s fashions and accessories – remember, you heard it on Dangerous Thinking first!

Well, I’m not sure how ‘loose connection’ would do with selling the hosepipe, but mark my words: the Apple-branded catheter will be a collectors item in years to come, especially if in the original packaging and with the bundled Airport card. As the man says “Think Different!”
I wondered why you bought that Apple laptop
Nothing says ‘brand loyalty’ quite like entrusting your little fella to a piece of consumer goods
Apple users are just weird
