Linux in your car.
Hey, why not? This guy did it and documented it at his website. Again, this might not be everyone’s idea of fun, but I am, after all, a network geek! I love the idea of having a built-in PC so that I could go war driving to the extreme. I mean, that would really redefine war driving, wouldn’t it? To have the PC running off the car, built-in and scanning literally as I drove to or from work would be so cool. Geeky as all get out, but cool to me.
Heck there’s even a book about doing that kind of thing, including the PC, called Geek My Ride. And, yes, I own it already.
God, help me, I am such a geek.

Well, anyway, if you’re feeling secure in your geek-hood, click the link and have some fun this weekend.

  1. Do people still “War Drive?” That’s so Cindy Brady without 802.11g.

  2. Hey, ThinkGeek even has pocket-sized “toys” to scan for wifi signal now. Not only is it cool, it’s marketable!
