New York Chalk Talk

I'm in New York, and I'll be presenting a potted history of the warchalking meme and participating in a workshop on warchalking this evening at Eyebeam in Chelsea.

Details here - stop by if you're in NYC and say hi!

what do you need for "WARCHALKING"?

Sorry I can't make the discussion this evening, but one thought that comes to mind is this:

If I warchalk a found WiFi access point, I'm alerting not only others who may want to make use of it, but the owner of the device that's leaking into public space. This may in turn cause them to take measures to limit its use/power. In that case I loose my ability to lounge on the public bench and work/surf while gazing over NY harbor.

Any experience along these lines?
