The Best of The Talk of the Town, 2011

newyorker:

[Alexandra] Janelli calls herself a “WiFi detective,” stalking the fragmentary consciousness of the city. “People are taking it to the next level in terms of being able to be really cryptic and send a message,” she said. Her site is a treasury of passive-aggressive messages to neighbors (Stop Cooking Indian!!!), self-promotion (FutureLawyersofCharlieSheen), flirtation (*~*~cOuGaRviLLe~*~*), and frustration (We can hear you having sex).

—Lauren Collins, “The Tao of WiFi,” (December 5, 2011)

    Does she need an employee? We share the same name and get enjoyment out of the same things; perfect match.
