我有幸在代顿火腿大会（Dayton Hamvention）上见过 Steve Roberts，当时他刚出版了《横跨美国的计算》（Computing Across America）。我还没见过谁能把纯粹的软硬件 hack 如此美妙、彻底地融入到自己的生活方式中。[更新] 这里可能是他一切开始的起点：https://microship.com/combo-mowing-rig-1966-movie/
I had occasion to meet Steve Roberts at the Dayton Hamvention when he had just published Computing Across America. I don't know anyone so delightfully dedicated to sheer hardware and software hacking fully integrated with one's lifestyle. [edit] and here is what may have begun his start: https://microship.com/combo-mowing-rig-1966-movie/
这可能跟你想要的有点偏差，但要说极致案例——可以看看 Steve Roberts 的书《横跨美国的计算》。他在 1980 年代给一辆自行车装上了电脑、太阳能集热器等一堆装备，然后出发骑行游历整个美国。他现在的项目是打造一艘可以住在上面的帆船；他一直在写博客记录……
A bit off from what you want, but for an extreme - see Steve Roberts's book "Computing Across America". In the 1980s he outfitted a bicycle with computers and solar collectors and so on and set out to ride all around the US. His current project is setting up a sailboat to live on; he blogs about it…
…the world via computer network, work remotely, it was poof mind blown. Like looking 15 years into the future. Later on during University, after my first summer programming internship I read his book, "Computing Across America", which I highly recommend. For me at least, Steve was also kind of a lifestyle guru. Reading his book you realized you that you didn't have to be chained to a desk in an office, that technology would…
这就是写《横跨美国的计算》的那位大佬，Steven K. Roberts。我年轻时是个电脑迷，当时只是在网上看到了那本书的封面就深受启发。这是他博客上最近的一篇帖子，还有一篇我找到的关于他项目的文章。感谢……
This is the Computing Across America guy, Steven K. Roberts. I saw only that book cover online as a young computer enthusiast and was inspired. Here’s a recent post from his blog and another article I found about his projects. Thanks for…
作者是 Steven K. Roberts，他是第一批高调出名的“技术游民”（technomads）之一。我记得当年在 GEnie 上读过他的《横跨美国的计算》系列连载。他有一辆高科技自行车，用一个装在车把上的 8 键（每侧 4 键）和弦式键盘写邮件，直接往电脑里输入原生 ASCII 码。
By Steven K. Roberts, famous for being one of the first high-profile "technomads". I remember reading his "Computing Across America" series on GEnie, back in the day. He had a high-tech bicycle and wrote email using a chording handlebar keyboard with 8 keys (4 on a side) that he used to input raw ASCII into his computer.
在二十多年前读过的一本书《横跨美国的计算》里，Steven Roberts 写道：“没有工程的艺术是空想；没有艺术的工程是算计。”Roberts 目前的博客是 http://nomadness.com/blog
In a book I read more than two decades ago now, Computing Across America, Steven Roberts wrote: "Art without engineering is dreaming; engineering without art is calculating." Roberts current blog is http://nomadness.com/blog

……通过计算机网络连接世界、远程工作，简直让人目瞪口呆。就像提前看到了 15 年后的未来一样。后来上大学时，在结束了第一个暑期编程实习后，我读了他的书《横跨美国的计算》，强烈推荐。至少对我来说，Steve 也算是一位生活方式导师。读完他的书你会意识到，你完全不需要被拴在办公室的工位上，技术将会……
