ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

It's a pisser to come down with a sore throat, fever and body aches on the day before you're to go on vacation for a week.  Of course, once at the beach its a little easier to deal with it. Funny how that works.

One happy coincidence is that just as I was thinking about what to leave up for a week this link rose through the ranks of popularity: 15 Web addresses for wasting time - view at your own risk

Meanwhile, I thought for sure I'd find an easy wireless signal here and that's not been the case.  I'm currently blogging from inside the rental car parked on some random residential road that finally offered up a signal I could piggyback on.  Once online I checked WiGle to see if there was something I'm missing and I'm not. Wifi deadzone.

I'm sure you mean that you found someone who was willing to allow you access to their wifi after you asked permission.  Not that you were currently involved in theft of services.  At least not if you are in one of the many locales where you would be basically admitting to breaking the law.

JR, I'm afraid I don't recall what you're referencing.
