Just One More Way We All Seem Pathetically Small And Lonely

People being creative with their SSID handle:

The signs say 82nd and Broadway, but a quick look on the Web reveals it’s the heart of a wireless Internet network dubbed “dontstalkus.”

Keep walking north on Broadway and that network gives way to another named “Turndownyourmusic” which, at 110th St., becomes the “wehaveroaches” network.

Welcome to the wild wild world of Wi-Fi.

. . .

The names of the networks pop up on the user’s computer. Sometimes they have generic handles — like 05B7754 — but others are more clever.

Some Wi-Fi users on the East Side display their political stripes by dubbing their networks “killhealthcare,” “betterthanbush” and “Palinsux.”

Up in the Bronx, Wi-Fi users with a religious — or anti-religious — bent have taken to giving their networks names like “jesussaves,” “godisfake” and “endofdays.”

In the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the networks take a more carnal direction with monikers like “singleandluvinit,” “needaman” and “nudist.”

“Welcome to the wild wild world of Wi-Fi” — what is this, 1999?
