[aklug] Re: a pidgeon fast than internet

I loved this story. Now I just need to work out a peering backup
agreement with someone in, say, Fairbanks.

1. Each of us keep four pigeons or so.
2. Weekly, release a pigeon carrying flash memory, or whatever the
current light and dense storage tech is
3. Return pigeons as needed via road system

I can see our Alaskan winters being a problem for the pigeons, though.
Has anyone domesticated any of the native arctic birds?

Maybe Google has some leftover birds from their experimental PigeonRank system.
