War Kayaking
ptorrone writes "As the summer approaches, we crawl out of our protective wired covered lairs to sometimes partake in outdoor activity. Last weekend, we went kayaking around Lake Union in Seattle, WA and of course, we couldn't help but bring along a lot of equipment and decided we'd hunt for open wireless spots, this friends- was "War Kayaking" we found a ton, charted it with GPS, Wifi finders and we'll show you how we did it for this week's HOW-TO Tuesday. We also shot a video in the kayak, be sure to check that out too."

What is your penile percentile?
Wow, you mean you can use a GPS on a Kayak? No way! I am going to start War-biking, War-wirewalking, War-firewalking, War-streetwalking, War-drinking, War-fucking (find all those important porn stores in seedy areas of downtown after War-streetwalking and War-drinking of course), War-Slashdotting (making a page load so slow because even though it shows the same thing as War-flying or War-driving people see "check out the video of us making you sea sick" and then flock to it), and of course, my personal favorite War-iPoding! Now you too can find all the iPods tucked away in BMWs and listen to the Universe from anywhere!
When you paddled past Bill's house, did you find any open relays?
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
WAREATING Take laptop into restaurant and see what WIFI you can pick. Then mayb eyou can find a place with both a good cheese steak sandwich and a decent internet connection. ahhhh paradise!
War Golfing has been around for years. Every time I go it's war with the tall grass, war with the trees, war with the sand traps and war with the whole damn course.
Evolution or ID?
Two networks with SSIDs of linksys and NETGEAR. How much do you want to bet we already know their admin passwords?
I'm in the hole of the broadband donut.
Do they then warchalk their boats to remember where the hotspot was?
With a few plastic baggies filled up with the right stuff, you can make almost *anything* interesting.

Who gives a crap if there are open wi-fi spots on the water?
It's important for those who enjoy surf surfing.

Some ideas for using the latest buzzword, war-*:
war-diving: fumbling through kismet while tumbling through the air at 15,000 ftwar-gimping: using kismet/gps combo while in a wheelchair
war-muling: strapping your kismet running lappy on a mule while trudging through columbia
war-basing: giving a basehead your zaurus with kismet/gps addon card and letting it log the hotspots as it travels through countless hands and finally sits idle at a pawn shop after 22 hours
war-gerbiling: eh, don't need details here
and so forth...
I also reply below your current threshold.
My friends and I all went in kayaks and canoes and started to tip each other over in a full-scale war it seemed. You could see many kamikazes flying off their kayaks in order to bring down the large fleets of canoes coming our way. Those with the larger paddles often attacked from below and many people begin to recover their equipment after being detached making this last longer...
Of course, had we brought our Wi-Fi equipment we would have been screwed.
Where is this outdoors you speak of?
