Union Square subway station, Manhattan.
Something I wrote for the business section of today's NYT: Using a Bicycle to Uplink on a Downtown Platform. Yury Gitman, above right, is the creator of Magicbikes, which are WiFi hot spots mounted on bicycles. Last week he used two Magicbikes to send what was allegedly the first e-mail message transmitted from an underground NYC subway platform. Yury is teaching a class on mobile wireless stuff at Parsons in collaboration with Eyebeam. See the class weblog.
