I have noticed a trend emerging in my decidedly urban Minneapolis surroundings: places that have Wi-Fi that should not. For instance, Arby’s. Although I love a hot-from-the-fryer potato cake as much as the next person, grease slicked fingers and laptop keyboards don’t mix.

Another inappropriate place for Wi-Fi, I feel, is busy intersections. With the Minneapolis municipal Wi-Fi network it is possible to check your email in traffic and surf the web while waiting for the light to change. I have actually seen people do this.

Since I express myself best in Haiku, here it is:

Wi-Fi signal finds
All who seek a connection
So please drive safely
