Mobile Wifi Backpack 278
ruzel writes "Julian Bleecker's web site TechKwonDo describes a project that is a wifi base station in a backpack. 'WiFi.Bedouin is a wearable, mobile 802.11b node disconnected from the global Internet. It forms a WiFi "island Internet" challenging conventional assumptions about WiFi and suggesting new architectures for digital networks that are based on physical proximity rather than solely connectivity.' The motivation is essentially subversive but what other uses are there for a device like this?"

Reminds me of some of the experiments that get performed at the BORG Lab [gatech.edu] here at GTech.
Look at this guy's work [gatech.edu] on predicting user behaviour through GPS tracking and the like. Combine that with this kinda queen bee kinda behaviour, am sure we would get something really cool.
Is this some kind of new paradigm in networking?

I think that you have it there. It looks to me lika a joke in the vein of Dihydrogen Monoxide. Funny in a, "hahaha look at who fell for it, I'm so superior to you" kind of way, I guess.
