Do we need WiFi?

Sat, 06/21/2008 - 20:23 — drthomasho

Tom Buckley is using his CradlePoint at home so we no longer have a portable hotspot.

Here are the ONLY locations in the Lafayette Road Ethnic Food Corridor which have WiFi:

  • Cairo Cafe
  • King Wok

We could move outside the Lafayette Road area to other parts of the city that are more accessible to those for whom Lafayette Road is not convenient. Here are some alternatives:

  • Panera
  • Whole Foods in Nora
  • Champps in Circle Centre Mall
  • Fountain Square and Broad Ripple have eWireless coverage

Do you have any favorites?

Do we Really need WiFi?

Sun, 06/22/2008 - 01:03 — alxconn

In the short spurt of time that we meet (ok, not really that short, but still) we should be focusing on the inter-personal connections rather than the Electronic ones; I mean, we have this whole website and numerous others to connect electronically with each other!

Rather than spend half of the lunch booting up and troubleshooting connectivity issues, why not focus on what we got together for?

I agree. I don't think we need wi-fi, or at least we don't need to worry about it.

Do we REALLY need Dogs?

Sun, 06/22/2008 - 13:27 — indychristian
  • I've been to our Collie Club meetings in which NO dogs were present.
  • I've been to our Collie Club gatherings in which dogs WERE present.

Of the two, somehow, some way, or for some odd reason... the ones WITH DOGS were more highly attended and enjoyable.

Search the meaning of this parable, Grasshopper(s).  *wink*

Hey, I got this covered.  I have dogs AND an Internet connection.  I'll stay home and one of you cell me and I'll look up the information for you. :)

Yes, but are we really comparing apples to apples?

In a collie-club meeting, you are actively discussing collies, but in an ICG meeting, we are actively discussing ideas.

Given that in most cases we spend 1/4 of the entire meeting time getting everyone online to display maybe one or two web sites, perhaps we should look into just saying "hey, go check this site out when you have time" and reserve the time we have face-to-face for talking to each other.

Yes, WiFi is 'nice', but unless we are dedicating an entire meeting to just looking at a website I don't think it's "necessary"

Isn't the main issue that people can come to the meeting and get food they enjoy and socialize, rather than hunkering down in front of an LCD?

WHY WiFi

Sun, 06/22/2008 - 08:24 — drthomasho

We don't need WiFi unless we need to look up some information or to show something that comes up in the discussion. For that, your EVDO tether should be sufficient.

South Side Options

Sat, 06/21/2008 - 20:57 — bnpositive

Probably not convenient for many people but the following locations on the south side have free wifi and would be a good location:

Other mainstream, city-wide options would be:

  • Qdoba
  • Buffalo Wild Wings
