Same old story, once the covered wagons arrive, the frontier goes all to pieces. First it's their priests and lawyers, then it's their box-malls and food-courts. I'm headed to Toronto first part of the week, first time in a long time, and it seems much has changed on the free WiFi landscape ... people will actually pay ten cents a minute for WiFi!

My, how times change. I haven't paid $0.10/min since, I don't know, 1992? Albeit, that was for a lowly 2400 dialup; of course, that was for data streams measured in 1992 bits, and we all know that 1 bit then was worth about 1kb in today's equivalent information value.

Nonetheless, armed with some however outdated spot lists and CAP maps, between waiting in government offices and meeting up with my urban-bound friends, I'll be spending at least a few hours on the prowl for friendly warchalks -- tips to warm, dry, loiterer-tolerant locales nearby 393 University are greatly appreciated.
