Here is a great video from http://hsmm-mesh.org/ where they introduce mesh networks and discuss using the WRT54G router to create mesh networks in the Ham bands.

I watched this last night and became even more interested.  Below are two PDF’s of some presentation slides discussing the networks.

Here is a video I created for my introduction to digital video class last term.  I wanted to see how well it would embed here.

I decided to put it on this domain since I hadn’t done anything else with it yet.  I originally had thought I would develop another business where I would use this domain, and I may yet do so.

I installed Blog Engine for my wife several years ago, and this install was very similar.  She is after me to help get her set up with a new site where she can sell some jewelery she makes.  I think WordPress might make a great candidate.  I remember there was a reason I choose Blog Engine before, but I cant remember what it was
