Welcome to the home of an internet hobo
Ever since I was turned out of a job in the big dotcom bust circa 2001, I’ve tried to find creative ways to travel and make a living, as a hobo would, but wandering the internet as well as the world. Since I’ve spent my working life crafting software of one kind or another, most of my adventures involve computers and the internet in some way. This often contrasts with my love of the outdoors and the open road. Maybe the fate of a cyberhobo is to search forever for a balance between these things. Here you’ll find the products of my search.
