The concept of Microprinting as described by Tom Taylor is "an experiment in physical activity streams and notification, using a repurposed receipt printer connected to the web". Using this and the works of others as inspiration, I set about making my own Internet connected printer.
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers [47]. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.
The Internet has gone from near-invisibility to near-ubiquity in little more than a year. In fact, though, today's multi-billion dollar industry in Internet hardware and software is the direct descendant of strategically-motivated fundamental research begun in the 1960s with federal sponsorship. A fertile mixture of high-risk ideas, stable research funding, visionary leadership, extraordinary grass-roots cooperation, and vigorous entrepreneurship has led to an emerging Global Information Infrastructure unlike anything that has ever existed.
I just have a "startwork" script that uncomments my etc/hosts files. [Funny, I have a block script that just adds sites to the list of sites which redirect to localhost. It's a reward every time I don't read an article on BoingBoing or Gizmodo. HackerNews is not yet in that script.]
[This is the good paragraph] The Internet has a citizenry. Like how some people self identify has African-American or Asian-American, there is a subset of the population for which it would be most accurate to label them Internet-American. Not everyone who has ever been on the Internet is part of this group. Most people are merely tourists or commuters, they come in, they visit a while but, at the end of the day, they go home to their real lives. For the Internet-Americans, the Internet is, at least in part, their real lives and meatspace existence is the culturally foreign experience.
