Wi-Fi All Around!
Free wireless Internet access is becoming more common, some of it intentional (I do see a lot of lights blinking on my wi-fi router even when I'm not using the computer, but haven't powered down the router). For students, faculty and staff of the University of Michigan, there are many wi-fi sites on campus. The Ann Arbor District Library currently has wi-fi at three of its four branches. And there are 19 more sites around Ann Arbor listed on this free wi-fi in Michigan page.
The most interesting spots I see on that list? First, the Meijer gas station on Saline Road, which may currently be the only place in the world where you can purchase biodiesel, automotive natural gas (for those Honda Civic GX's), AND check your e-mail on your laptop! The other one that caught my eye? The downtown area of Grand Rapids, near Rosa Parks Circle. Grand Rapids is the center of the red part of this blue state, and it surprises me that there is a "Rosa Parks Circle" in Grand Rapids, since Rosa made a name for herself in Montgomery, Alabama and has since lived in Detroit for many years. That Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids is wi-fi enabled just boggles my mind!
