This is known as the Dead Drops Project. It was designed to share files peer to peer and be anonymous offline. There is a readme.txt file that explains the project. What’s so unconventional about it is that a person can plug their laptop into a pole, wall, or building to use it.
If you live in New York, here are some places where you can find them:
87 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (Makerbot); Empire Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn, NY (Dumbo); 235 Bowery, NY (New Museum); Union Square, NY (Subway Station 14th St); 540 West 21st Street, NY (Eyebeam)

Facebook - ANONYMOUS????????????
me - is a term used in two senses. As an Internet meme it represents the concept of many online community users, or the online community itself, acting anonymously in a co-ordinated manner, usually toward a loosely self-agreed goal.
Multiply - Think about a time 10 years from now, at most, when there will be zero anonymity online. Will the nature of formerly anonymous online communiities change?
Me - great question - too much thinking - great blogging project? - how big, create a monster - predict internet future?
brain storming
phone apps - tools - common sense - build profile all ready - family and FB stuff - new google chrome stuff - internet hard drives - severs - governments - who can police the web - China/Thailand - elections - data mining - telemarketers - outside the cluster -
any cool ideas?
Multiply reply - In that case, I suppose you should just start calling me "David" now. I'm a plumber out of Missouri. I enjoy watching porn, lifting weights, and stealing pictures of redheads online.
Me - we all ready have the tools to detect these lies in a profile - alarm bells would be ringing - thinks for the brain food
any cool ideas? - thinking to use Isismile blogs to host an E-book about this stuff
