Some fun YouTubery just happened... I did an interview in September with Matt of @JaYoeLife and it is delightful. There's BEHEMOTH footage from 1992, technomadic chat, and some retro-media geekery from the Harbor Digitizing lab.

1994 - An attempt to create a community of #digitalnomads, written during the first year of the Microship project. This was posted to my Technomads listserve and generated considerable discussion.

1979: From the standpoint of the user, little has changed. He is still connected to the utility pole through a meter, and still receives monthly billings. But now, the meter can run in either direction, alternately debiting and crediting his account.

I've always been fond of this article, written 29 years ago, anticipating the emergence of online-centered lifestyles... written when the Internet was gradually incorporating competing commercial services and eliminating artificial borders.

The world has just changed. It has been an odd sort of revolution: many don’t even realize it happened, while others have had their lives redefined so dramatically that the time Before Networking seems as primitive as the Dark Ages. (1994)

When I started this post, I envisioned it as a dozen quick photo/captions; I didn’t expect an all-day voyage along a lifetime, threaded together by glimpses of 19-inch rackmount consoles and held together by 10-32 screws.

I just had a bit of local publicity here in the San Juan Islands this week. "It’s like using surgical tools to get at people’s memories, their emotional metadata"

I was free from the chains of business, free from the stern, monotonous call of duty, free as a bird on the wing, with my home under me throbbing to the steady beat of the engine and sensitive to the least turn of the wheel in my hand.

I've been saving my only copies of my old Journal of High Treknowledgy zine, and yesterday scanned the premiere issue for the archives. From April, 1987... published from the road.

A minor stray from an old binder, added to the archives last night. This is a ham radio club newsletter in St Augustine, right at the end of the Winnebiko II epoch in 1988. Within a week, we'd be outfitting a 35-foot school bus for a book tour.

Minor find in an old file just added to the archives: This delightful Hugo-nominated geek zine from the UK picked up the BEHEMOTH story and gave it a little sidebar...

This marvelous text is by Ralph Pearson, my biological grandfather, who embarked from Chicago on an epic Great Loop voyage on May 3, 1909. This is chapter one of his unpublished book that we are bringing to life...

Another Nomadness Report issue just added to the archive (from 2011) - this one covering the GPS data logger and APRS tracker that I was using aboard Nomadness to generate detailed images of the adventures... independent of phone apps.

Found in an old folder and added to the archives. This 1985 snapshot occurred after I finally escaped the San Clemente book-writing layover and plunged through Los Angeles, heading for Silicon Valley with the madness of the road again my daily life.
