Alexandra Janelli

Batman may live in Gotham City, but I live in a world that is invisible to the naked eye. A world you might not have realized is surrounding you right at this very moment! It’s a place that has gone beyond 420 character Facebook status update, and even the 140 character tweet, and found a newer, even shorter way of connecting with people: the 32 character SSID – otherwise known as a wifi name. Welcome to the Wild World Of Wifi. My name is Alexandra Janelli and I’m a WiFi detective.
