And who said geeks can't have a sense of humor (seriously, who said it)? Andrew pointed out this post regarding an initiative to build networks with Linksys hardware. One particular group is called the Link Sys Community Network, they are trying to build publicly accessible internet access points -- but for those that are in the know, it's just a parody. With that said, follow their easy-to-understand instructions and you will in fact create a node which others can access (as I showed here). Heh, and I have to hand it to them: the concept of a "supernode" created by stacking that particular equipment is the same thing that Bart Simpson tried with megaphones -- Ain't Gonna Happen In Real Life™.
Their heinous and maniacal competitors are the default groupies from the other side of the tracks. These guys really don't add much in terms of practical advice, but their blog is a hoot.

But I know that still isn't enough for Tim to come to Gnomedex.
