Matthew Butcher?s hockey teammates started a memorial fund for him last week. Some of these friends had known him for as many as twelve years. Few had ever met him in person. These friends all played an online video game called Subspace. The game came out in 1997 — making it one of the earliest [...]
In Bucharest, neighborhoods formed their own networks in order to bypass incumbents and meet their own needs. Later, these networks transformed into small businesses. My understanding is that the state of affairs is a bit different now, but these networks were quite normal 5 years ago.

For more on the concept, see my previous post. We’ll post the v1.0 of the paper early next week. If you’d like to come to the event, [...]
Just not here so much. More here. Here’s the latest: What if you could own your internet connection? It may sound strange, and it’s certainly not what we’re used to. Today we have a “carrier-centered” model; phone and cable companies spend billions to build, operate, and own the “last-mile” connection — the copper, cable, or [...]
