Pack up your modem in your old kit bag

Wireless Toronto, a volunteer group devoted to providing location-specific Internet content across the city through a series of free Wi-Fi hot spots, has been meeting every month for two years to plan new spots and strategies.

But recently they decided they would like to have more fun in 2007, so starting this month, they're getting together for something called Hack Nights.

Their first project, which they will be field-testing today, is a spanner in the growing Wi-Fi service-industry works, an ambulatory Internet system they call "the Roach Coach."
