Free WiFi Hotspots
Have 802.11, will travel...
This list will have a permanent link from the bottom right column. Please comment to add others, or to note if one is no longer valid. It goes without saying that some of these locations are truly free, some require a purchase (such as a coffee drink, twist my arm), and some require you to dress to fit in (like the swanky hotels.)
These wireless access points are from la.com, plus a few of my own. Be sure to check all the additions in the comments.
