York station is free WiFi hotspot – Digital Lifestyle – Macworld UK
York railway station has been fitted-out with free WiFi for travellers, National Express East Coast announced today.
I love York station and now I have another excuse to go and watch the trains. “I needed to pick up my email, so I went for a coffee at the footbridge cafe.”
Planning moves into a new gear to prepare for my sponsored cycle ride to raise money to bring Palestinian Students to the Riding Lights Summer School.
This is route I plan to take

I start the circular route in Grassington and travel through Leyburn, Hawes, Settle, and Malham before returning to the start after 105 miles. You will notice that it will take me up some challenging inclines. I plan to ride the route in two days with an extra day at the end just in case of any delays, bouts of exhaustion, heavy storms or other hazards.

Next month I am mounting my trusty steed and peddling round 100 miles of the Yorkshire Dales. It’s a sponsored ride to raise money for the Riding Lights Summer School.

Specifically I’m doing the ride to raise money to bring four students from the Christian Palestinian Community in Bethlehem to the UK. They will join the summer school and return home with new skills to help their community to tell their story.
This follows from the Theatre Company’s production of Salaam Bethlehem last year.
Riding Lights – Past Shows
SALAAM BETHLEHEM
A Riding Lights Theatre Company ProductionFor the past 18 months we have been making steady progress towards a new play for the season of Advent running right up to Christmas 2007. A play with undertones for all our Christmases, Bridget Foremans SALAAM BETHLEHEM is set in the little town today where the streets are definitely darker beneath the concrete slabs but where the everlasting light still shines.
In May last year we met some of the dwindling Palestinian Christian community, discovering a remarkable range of people whose simple message to Riding Lights was Pray for us, tell our story, visit us.
Before anyone jumps to conclusions and because both inside and outside the Church issues to do with Israel seem to be so contentious… this is not a political play… or it is only political insofar as anything that deals with people is naturally political. We are not colouring in a new roadmap for the Middle East peace process. We are seeking to stand alongside brothers and sisters in the church of Christ. And how grateful all of us should be that they are still there.
WWDC: O2 iPhone WiFi includes BT OpenZone, The Cloud – iPod/iPhone – Macworld UK
O2 has taken another step to widely improve its iPhone 3G offering in the UK, multiplying the available WiFi hotspots users can employ to get online.
Hidden in the small print on the O2 page, O2 confirms iPhone users will enjoy free use of WiFi hotspots from its existing partner, The Cloud, and also observes iPhone users will be able to use hotspots provided by BT OpenZone.
Even more free (or should I say bundled) WiFi with the O2 iPhone deal from July 11th.
