Just because I was curious, I took out my new Android mini-tablet (more on that in a future post) and ran one of several wi-fi scanning programs I have. These aren’t hacking apps.

As part of yesterday’s reader roulette I stumbled upon this interactive map from Forbes Magazine which shows where Americans moved from and to in 2008.
