Ho Ho Hoboken

Moved to Hoboken, New Jersey: Frank Sinatra’s old stomping grounds. We are right next door to an Italian barber and three doors from a “luncheonette” where most things on the menu are some variety of pasta and meatball and everyone speaks in varieties of wiseguy. Then a few blocks away there’s a health food store and assorted yuppie emplacements. Interesting. Ironically, we now have an amazing view over the Hudson of the Manhattan West Side skyline – Empire State, Citicorp, Chrysler, AT&T Building – which is more then we had when we lived in New York itself. On the 4th floor we have an unimpeded view of the Empire State and its digital broadcasting dishes. I may investigate an aerial. With such a huge view WiFi pollution seems unavoidable – there are over 15 networks within range of my rather puny laptop card. In fact, this is being sent over a classic “linksys” unsecured channel 6 connection.
