With 802.11b (and a and g and whatever) broadband wireless networks popping up everywhere, and their reach being anywhere between 150 and 300 feet, there are lots of people who want to saunter onto your sidewalk and jump onto your network for a free ride. Rather than running around looking for a convenient place every time to do this punking, the art of warchalking takes the form of the old hobo sidewalk markings that would tell drifters where to find food, shelter, or where unfriendly locals might reside.
Warchalking marks the spot on the sidewalk or building wall where you can find an open wireless node to glom on to - but be aware that only Covad allows this to happen. Other broadband providers frown on it - after all, you're violating the spirit of their contract with the homeowner on whose bandwidth you're surfing.

After a 30 year career on radio in markets from New York to San Francisco to satellite and network, David H. Lawrence XVII decided to make a change. He hung up his headphones and retired from hosting 3 network/satellite radio shows to head to Los Angeles, to concentrate solely on acting in front of the camera.
Lili VonSchtupp* needed a fresh start. She moved to Washington DC and got her dream job. "I did affiliate relations for Online Tonight with David Lawrence. I slowly worked my way into the producer's chair by impressing David with my assets. (not those assets), my ability to make a CAT5 cable Ethernet cable, type (those of you in the chat room-shut up!) and work a phone system.
