Showernet


I met a guy at the washeteria in the village who designs websites for a living. He was sitting there, in the shower, designing a website for a local pet supply store. Michael, the web designer, has no electricity at his house, nor does he have internet. So, being that the washeteria is the only place in town with these accomodations, he makes his living from a shower in Manley, Alaska. Which is funny, because that is precisely the reason we go to the washeteria. For electricity. And the world wide web.
