Wireless routers are a miracle of modern technology. Instead of accessing the internet by plugging directly into a router, you can surf the web via radio signals. But to do that, you first need to know the routers name that you’re attempting to utilize. Next, you type in the password, let your computer (or another smart device) complete the authentication handshake, and then youre in. However, a router name can be more than an identifier that helps you determine which device you should be connecting to. It can also serve as a statement about its owners personality or interests.

The Rabbit r1 shipped half-baked, but that’s kind of the point
I finally received the rabbit r1 (the company insists on this lowercase styling) I’ve been writing about since its debut at CES in January. And I was able to tell within about 30 seconds of turning it on that it was shipped a couple months too soon — but honestly…that’s fine? It’s weird, relatively cheap, and obviously an experiment.
