Hapgood

Minutes after I read Winer’s “everyone should run their own webserver” piece, I get this. 

I think sometimes we’re crazy people, driving old cars we repair ourselves, telling people how easy and cheap it is to maintain that 1993 Diesel BMW with the Fryolator oil-burning mod and the homemade solar charger. I’m actually really sick of running my own server, and if people like me are, I think the chances of a broad personal cyberstructure movement, failing some sort of subsidization of it, are somewhere between nothing and 0%, no matter what it’s social benefits might be.
