Ad Hoc networks on airplanes
So last week I was on American Airlines flight 227 from JFK-SJC.
About midway to California, I turned on my wireless card to see if there was anything interesting going on.
This is what I saw:

Ok, I don’t get it. Why do so many people/computers have ad hoc networks enabled? Is there some bizarre software that automatically creates ad hoc networks if it can’t find a real one? How peculiar!
As for the rest of the flight, here are some comments:
-Shrimp and scallop risotto wasn’t awful.
-On that particular 757, all the seat power outlets in First on the port side were busted. Boo.
-After the Sunset is a crappy movie – though with lots of mildly interesting shots of Salma Hayek.
