			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve received a lot of response from my last post about being first in line for Burning Man. So I thought I&#8217;d take some time to clear up a few things.</p>
<p>My two reasons for coming up this early to the desert to a) get in line and to b) secretly test a new wireless technology. I guess now is a good of time as any to reveal what I&#8217;m testing.</p>
<p>Due to gas prices this summer, certain &#8216;organizations&#8217; have had to explore extreme cost saving measures. One area of exploration is their wireless networks.</p>

<span id="more-757"></span><br />
My source, who&#8217;s playa name is &#8216;anon-i-mouse&#8217;, has been secretly creating a new technology for the last two years. He was going to have some people at high levels of the &#8216;organization&#8217; test it around the 4th of July, but it wasn&#8217;t quite ready yet.</p>
<p>This technology is an implementation of the upcoming IEEE 802.11e standards that have yet to be ratified. I know that the &#8216;e&#8217; doesn&#8217;t correspond to traditional incremental naming schemes &#8211; 802.11 started with &#8216;a&#8217;, then &#8216;b&#8217;, then &#8216;g&#8217; and then apple took it to the &#8216;n&#8217;th degree! Well the &#8216;e&#8217; got skipped so since this is technically a downgrade in speed and capacity, they chose &#8216;e&#8217; for economy.</p>
<p>This technology is based on a classified whitepaper written during World War I about the creation of a Carrier Pigeon Relay Service or CPRS for short. My source has finally implemented the technology and is will be releasing the source code to the Java applet called &#8216;tweatr&#8217; at <a href="http://tweatr.org">http://tweatr.org</a>.</p>
<p>How does it work? Well I can&#8217;t reveal all the details just yet, look for an upcoming press release. A rough sketch of what i&#8217;ve been testing is this:</p>
<ul>
<li>open java applet called tweatr</li>
<li>type in your post</li>
<li>tweatr then emits longitudinal waves also known as &#8216;tweats&#8217;</li>
<li>the CPRS then receives these &#8216;tweats&#8217; via various Field Agents placed in low geosynchronous orbit</li>
<li>the CPRS then takes care of the rest. Please see Jeff Goldblum&#8217;s explanation of geosynchronous orbit in the movie &#8220;Independence Day&#8221; if you would like to know more about how this technology works.</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ve posted an artist&#8217;s depiction of a Field Agent. You have to understand that we can&#8217;t show you an actual picture, because we don&#8217;t want to reveal the identity of our Field Agents. Below is the exclusive peek at a Field Agent.</p>
