Wish EtherPeg was OSX compatible  djf

It is! http://www.etherpeg.org and look near the bottom of the page. Source
available.

The pictures people were looking at were truly scary. Imagine projecting
those while the speaker was talking...  it would be like the famous
psychologist whose students decided to act bored and distracted when he
stepped to his right at the blackboard, and interested when he stepped to
his left. He ended the lecture crammed in the corner, unable to work out
what it was about his content that was having that effect.
    The irony being that he insisted that such behavioural manipulation
couldn't happen.


The article is called "Tapping the alpha geek noosphere with EtherPEG."
It's at http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1414.  This is really
mind-bending and brings the new reality of wireless networks in public
spaces viscerally home.

Great article.


        best
