Gizmodo traced the vagabond lives of two people who chose homelessness, but rely on technology to allow them to function in the world.

I’m homeless, very homeless, dirt broke and all, but I still own an iPad and a MSI Wind u130 netbook. These, I feel, are essential tools… Being without a home is not that big a deal in today’s world, but having connections to the rest of the world is pretty important.

The full interview explains how the money can be made from DJing with the iPad and how using McDonald’s WiFi helps the digital homeless scrape by.
