A Coder in Courierland

A Coder in Courierland is an interesting tale on Kuro5hin about a programmer who decided to escape the cubicle world for life outside as a bicycle courier. I'm reminded of a Kevin Bacon film from the 80s called Quicksliver. Bacon plays a hotshot stockbroker who loses it all and becomes a bike messenger. Hmm, is this what we'll be doing when all the programming jobs get offshored? The salary will suck but at least I'll finally be in shape.
