Matt Jones has been in NY, having fun, and indulging in the latest WiFi hobby: noderunning (warning: noisy webpage)
To begin each team gets a wireless laptop with software that scans for nodes, a digital camera, and cab fare. Each is briefed on how to use the gear. Both teams take photos at Eyebeam and leave for Bryant Park.
The clock starts once both teams to leave Eyebeam. The teams have two and a half hours to connect to and photograph as many nodes as possible, collect a log (with the node scanning software) of nodes along their way, and arrive to the Bowling Green.
1 point is given for every 5 nodes the team’s scanning software logs.
