Reading for Wednesday: A Visit to the Hacker House

The results are in, and with nineteen votes (one apparent abstention), the clear favorite for tomorrow's reading assignment is "Hacker House Blues: My Life with 12 Programmers, 2 Rooms, and One 21st-Century Dream," by David Garczynski (originally published at Salon almost a year ago). This was Jan's selection for his summer-reading essay, so let's all thank him for bringing it to our attention. Read it for tomorrow, and come to class with some thoughts and observations to discuss (no formal notebook assignment).
