The most promising part of this plan to me is automatic access to free, specially secured wifi hotspots. Here's a video. Details can be found on the FAQ.

T-mobile customer here. Good on you for pointing out those limitations. They always hide em in the fine print. I remember the first time I learned “unlimited data” means unlimited up to a certain point. I still get mad thinking about my conversation with the Virgin Mobile representative. She...

One Awesome Inch - Thanks! I love Sheila too, but we're in an open relationship so it's cool with me if you love her as well. Wish I had a better answer for you. Here's what I could come up with for now. There's a tiny gap between the support rib and the ceiling. I cut my hex screws (a bad...

Those who do something “just to see what happens” are the true heroes of youtube. Thanks for intentionally closing your vent so we don't have to. Holding the detector in front of an exhaust pipe may have coated/degraded the sensor. Idk for sure and forget what I read to make me think that. I...

Fwiw, I installed solar panels without drilling through my roof. Just used the rain gutters (as was mentioned) and fed the cord through passenger window.

Haha, yeah I've heard from cashiers that everyone is just a blur at the end of the day. They really don't care. Here's an idea if you want to take your game up a few notches and and in a less dark direction... Comedy Central Video: "Aziz Ansari plans to buy a liter of Jack Daniel's, two liters...

I thought the same thing but heard on Tech News Today that the pylons are just going to be for things like pointing tourists in the right direction. The real value will be puclic wifi for those who have their own device.

"The worst thing an introvert can do is let other people completely dictate their schedule." Introvert here. Can confirm this is a bad idea. Over the years every one of my former room mates have been highly extroverted. Not sure why. Because of this I'd get suckered into thinking I was being...

Oops, well I guess that would make sense : ) Idk where I got it in my head you were a dude. Queens of the Stone Age are all guys so maybe I was thinking in that direction.

You have excellent taste, sir. And I hear Bourbon making a real comeback as well.

I found a better article here. Says there will be 10,000 internet pylons that broadcast "up to gigabit speeds." That's fast. "LinkNYC will be the fastest and largest free municipal Wi-Fi deployment in the world." "A new city plan dubbed LinkNYC will replace public pay telephones with a...

It was fun to see some of ya'll in “real” life, even if it was just a video. I'm looking forward to this.

Article here. I think it's way too eary to say for sure if the city will actually do this. Let's hope it catches on! I think the US is a bit behind the curve on this sort of thing so this is nice to finally see. Could be a game changer for the stealth/urban oriented vandweller.

More than once I've had the cashier/person in line behind me chuckle at my purchases. Before I was stealth-vandwelling, I'd go shopping much less frequently and buy in larger quantities. Now, for both practical reasons as well as simply saying thanks for the overnight spot I'm in the grocery...

highdesertranger - Give it to me straight... how long do I have?

ToyotaEscaper - I disagree. Not only is your remark inherently marginalizing, it's also not true. I cared about this issue quite a lot. A few years ago I was excited about one day flying FPV multi-rotors and wanted to start a small business. I got a quadcopter and a go-pro thinking that with...

These are only 120w but they're portable and I vouch for them. They've been hanging out on top of my van for ~6 months and have weathered many storms. They come as a complete kit which is not the most cost effective option but nice if you don't wanna stress about charge controllers. Oh I just...

I dig your blueprints. Have you considered using a 3D modeling program? Sketchup Make is free and not that difficult to learn. I had some success with it when I was planning my build (and I'm not the brightest crayon in the box). Where are you going to put your battery bank? That's one thing I...

Sassypickins - Glad to hear there's someone else interested in making cargo nets. Maybe among those of us who are interested, we can figure out how to make the best nets possible : ) If you ever decide to have another go at it, please drop by my thread. I'd love to see what you come up with...
