nerdpunkSomehow the word "cult" is very apt.
I have mixed feelings about the idea of living out of a harddrive. Mainly because, well, it's a tinged privileged. There's one form of not having a lot of stuff due to poverty, but somehow it's just not as hip as this. :/
And what about art? I happen to sew a lot now, and that requires a certain amount of stuff to do properly. I think the majority of my accumulation of stuff is related to costuming or the fact I collect art. Am I tied down because of this, or is it a part of the enrichment of my life? I rather like making things, and a stash is very helpful for that (instead of having to go out and buy stuff every time I make something... often I can adapt what I have around).
As much as I love the digital world, there are things I enjoy about the physical one. What about you?
