The CyberHobo has been hired! I will be on my way shortly to Ridgecrest, CA to work on a 9-month government project. I know from the feedback I’ve gotten from this site that there are many of you who are entertained or inspired by CyberHobo life. I’m not anticipating that this will be the end of it. There’s no way of knowing what will happen, but you can rest assured that if it’s interesting you’ll see it here…
My first taste of CyberHobo life has been sweet, but it’s clear I’ll need to push harder if I’m going to survive. I used a family trip to test the hobo waters. There was only time for one job in Bay City, Michigan for Tom Starkweather at his Area Appraisers headquarters. While I wasn’t able to bring new life to an old machine and pile of parts he had on his table, I did manage to network all his computers and update his web page for $15/hr, coffee, and good companionship at the bar afterward. Bay City treated me well, but in the end I didn’t cover my costs for the trip. I’m uncertain at this point of my future as a CyberHobo…
While taking one of only a few car rides during my 8-month bicycle tour, I saw a guy with a backpack sauntering along a quiet coastal road in southern Maine. Being used to investigating things of interest by that time, I was frustrated to watch him disappear in the back window.
Later I had the luck to catch up to him on my bicycle, and learned that he was attempting to retrace the 4,000-mile journey of 3 English sailors who were shipwrecked in Mexico and rescued in Novia Scotia in 1569. Richard’s reversal of this journey is documented on his website at

Molly gave me my first Cyberhobo job, in Laramie Wyoming. She wrote me this glowing review:
Cyberhobo (aka Dylan Kuhn) set me up at home for computer use. He found me a used computer that would meet my needs for the lowest cost possible, “cleaned up” the machine so it would be faster, found a local internet provider that has the best service for the lowest cost, went to establish an account with me, told me all the things I would need to buy to set up the computer at home and helped me purchase such items, he then set up the computer so all I had to do was follow directions. I have absolutely no computer skills so having Cyberhobo here to guide me through all the steps was essential. I have learned much from Cyberhobo and I have tapped his knowlodge several times since. Not only is Dylan a delightful man, he is a smart and trustworthy employee. If you have no computer needs, I encourage you to read his stories of adventure posted on this website as they are most entertaining. If you have a computer need, contact Cyberhobo and meet one of the most talented (certainly the sexiest) men in the business.
Thanks Miss Molly!
