So I’m sitting here waiting for an orange juice on a Newark-bound Delta flight, (free wifi provided via gogo promo), with an iPhone in my hands and a Kindle and an iPod in my lap, listening to Wye Oak (The Knot), half reading “The Road” and about to tell you that today I found out my two laptops and a 1TB external drive were stolen from my studio.

That’s all, really. Data. And devices. Lots of data. Three years worth. Something about paring down. Gadgets. Displacement. Starting a digital, nomadic empire with only a Kindle, an iPhone and a 150GB iPod.

Begin.
