Living in Denver's Baker Neighborhood is interesting for me - there are many many artistic people who choose this neighborhood which makes the landscaping, home painting, home architecture really neat. The other benefit is that lots of my neighbors are artists and grahpic designers - handy when I do web development.

I made a squidoo lens about FON.

Leave a comment and point me towards resources to add and I'll be sure to do it.

Squidoo is basically a personal take on resources someone thinks are valuable. There's tons more interesting information on the subject, I know it, but I've only found a handful of places to read.

This is a little concerning to see details of how to execute sniffing of FON username/passwords. I imagine that as a Bill it would be dangerous to lose this information because it would probably be possible to take your money from the shared revenue.

Other than that, while it's never good to lose a username/password I'm not sure if it's such a big deal.

Today I got an email from the folks at FON alerting me to a "surprise" that's coming related to the new Fonera:

Today we are launching La Fonera, the FON Community's new Social Router. You will soon be receiving a new special offer to take it home. We wish to thank you for always believing in FON, so we will send you another e-mail to offer you La Fonera in a very special promotion (including a surprise). Just wait and you'll be able to enjoy all the privileges you deserve!

What I hope the surprise contains?

We made this recipe tonight. It's delicious.

1 medium eggplant, fresh
1 head spinach or 1 package frozen
1 pkg. lasagna noodles
1 pint cottage cheese (low fat if you prefer)
1 jar Favorite meatless sauce
1 sm. pkg. Mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper
Several plump tomatoes
Parsley, oregano, etc.

On September 14th I went to get the data for another round of geographic analysis of FON (density by country and Fonero Growth by country). I was surprised to see the maps had been completely redone and the data I need is no longer readily available. Well, a quick visit to the Google cache of the maps overview page gave me the data I wanted from September 7th. So, I've got snapshots from July 14, August 21, and September 7th which makes monthly growth information a little skewed, but interesting all the same.

This month I have three charts - The 10 most dense countries, the 10 countries with the fastest growth in my sample period, and then a larger chart with some more growth and density information for all countries. Germany is perhaps the most exciting country in these since they are in the top 10 of both: they've really grown quickly and their density, while still not at the highest quality, is getting better fast.
