Eric, While I haven't done any blogging from the bathroom (yet...), I have done lots of it from my backyard, American Airlines Admiral's Clubs, and the odd Starbucks via 802.11. I've also written about 802.11 and how it's being deployed in some fairly large-scale installations for the house organ of the American [Urban] Planning Association (that article's not online, unfortunately) and for Tech Central Station, which is available online, by clicking here. Great post! Ed

That's a very interesting thought. I'm not sure blogging wll change society, but it has already changed the media and the lives of a million bloggers.

Blogging also would qualify as "disruptive technology" as it seems to fit most of the characteristics outlined.

I bought a wireless router this afternoon. In fact, I'm sitting on the crapper as I write this. Wireless is wonderful. And it is the first stage in emergent democracy. After all isn't the best revolution one you can fight from the bathroom?
