Ely, vacation, wired

I don't know what inspired me to check my e-mail while I was on vacation.

I do know that you can do that way too easily.  I was on the sidewalk in Ely and looked down to see that my iPod was using its wireless and it was connected to the internet.  When I checked the settings, I noticed that there were no less than four WiFi places it could have connected to.

I had to try to peek at the e-mail.  (Is this wardriving if you are walking?) Sure enough, no problem getting the e-mail.

I wonder why getting connected isn't this easy at school?
