I was a technologically advanced hobo. I was a homeless bum but a connected bum. That's me pictured above proudly displaying my mobile workstation. Ah, the dog days of dial-up.
I wasn't the only internet-connected hobo. There were lots of us out there. In fact, we were legion. Think about that the next time you stereotype a skid row shopping cart pusher as a junkie loser. He may just build better web pages than you and lord knows he's got a lot of free time on his hands.
