WiFi is now everywhere

A perfect story for a Friday...

Researchers in Massachusetts are now studying endangered snapping turtles by hooking them up with wifi... on their backs. Apparently, they collect data while they swim about and interract with each other. Once a turtle with the wifi backpack gets close enough to a data center (presumably on a beach), the whole set is amassed by tech savvy researchers who are probably sitting in a Hyanisport bar tossing back some coldies all in the name of science. Genius.

Off to NYC this afternoon... west coast people, check out the new contact info for Nineball Media Portland!
