POPSChoosing randomly? The entertainment options on offer to us are almost unlimited. Trying to make an informed choice between all possible alternatives would take too long: they're all good, so why not pick one at random? But is this a warning sign of terminal decadence? The idea that so many pleasures are available to us that we're unable to choose has a hint of the last days of Rome about it." I think that in a way it is a sign of this age of information and higher availabilities. It calls for higher levels of clarity and processing. otherwise we'll be lost in translation...

POPSDo you still send postcards? I love to send postcards. I think it's a more personal way to stay-in-touch with friends and family than email. I choose cards that best fit a persons personality: quirky cards for my best friend, nature images for my brother. I buy cards for myself such as photographic cards that surpass my skills in that area. I especially love cards made by artists.

POPSWEP/WPA Cracking with WZCook Disclaimers aside, I bookmark utilities like this one for a number of reasons, one being my inability recall where it was that I wrote down my WEP key. (I've long since given up on actually remember the passphrase itself!) A more recent application occurred during a hotel stay during which the hotel locked down it's internet access using a passphrase due to a "malicious user", and I needed access before the phrase was distributed to the front desk IT person. As you can see, there are a fair number of legitimate uses out there, and this little app takes up very little hard drive real estate. I actually have a USB drive with "travel"-related software utilities such as this, which has saved my quite a few times.

POPSHot Destination: Lagos, Nigeria I haven't read much about travel to Nigeria, save George Packer's great article in the New Yorker (see here: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/11/13/061113fa_fact_packer) about the city's informal economies. A New York Times reporter recently surveyed the city's nightlife, malls and substandard housing and found a huge gap between the wealthy and poor. I think it will be awhile before it becomes a real destination, but it should be interesting to see how travel there increases in the coming years.

POPSWinning With Aircraft Charter Choosing the most valuable way to travel by private jet can be quite confusing to even the most seasoned travelers. How do you choose between traditional aircraft charter, fractional ownership and block time agreements (also known as "jet cards")? You want the best value for your individual needs; so, where do you begin?

POPSSpooky Physics: Signals Seem to Travel Faster Than Light One could instead argue that an entangled object releases an unknown particle or some other signal at high speeds to influence its partner, giving the illusion of a simultaneous reaction. In the past, experiments have ruled out any suspects for such hidden signals from the realm of classical physics. Still, one exotic possibility remains — that such x-factors instead travel faster than the speed of light. To investigate this possibility, scientists at Geneva in Switzerland began with entangled pairs of photons, or packets of light. These pairs were then split up and sent over fiber optic cables provided by Swisscom to stations at two Swiss villages some 11 miles (18 kilometers) apart from each other. The stations confirmed that each pair of photons had remained entangled — by analyzing one, scientists could predict aspects of its partner.
