Nerdvana: Video Shows You How To Make Your Own “Sting” To Glow When There Is An Unsecured WiFi Signal Near

I just saw the new Hobbit movie with the kids in Chicago (which I liked) and was immediately intrigued by this story: a YouTube video on how to make your own ultimate nerdy “Sting.” Rather than detecting Orcs, this Sting detects unsecured WiFi. For the Hobbit nerd, it promises an elevation to nerdom that few single, middle-aged Hobbit wannabes still living with their parents in the basement could hope to achieve. I cannot say that the new sword will make you an Elf “chick-magnet” at the next Hobbit convention but it will get those other Hobbits pulling pens out of their pocket protectors to write down your every Bilboesque instruction.
The video below is actually fascinating and promises to not only detect unsecured WiFi but Sting will jump on the network, and publish a message: “{YOUR WI-FI NETWORK} has been vanquished!” (By the way, Sting would not be necessary if our government were to do what most enlightened countries have been on maintain a free WiFi resource rather than yield to lobbyists in this area. However, it is the ultimate victory against the scourge that is hotel WiFi charges or blocking).
The video below states that you need two things: a toy Sting, and a Spark Core . . . and of course no life.
