I have bought a very nice signed print by the Oatmeal featuring [Nikolai Tesla riding a cat and a very scared Edison running from a death ray.](http://s3.amazonaws.com/theoatmeal-img/blog/merch_nov_2012/edisons_nightmare_big.jpg). Therefore, I named my network Tesla (and the password is also related to the picture). What about you guys? Any special names or meanings? ---

“Jarvis”. Not very original, but my wife’s a Marvel fangirl. One of my neighbors - I have no idea whom - has “Pretty Fly for a WiFi”, which is cool. ---
