Here's a little project I want to work on, and it involves this little solid state drive in my hand.
Everyone knows what sneakernet is, right? Pop data onto a storage medium of any sort; pass it onto another person? Throw a bunch of tapes and/or disks into a box; drive them down the highway to another location? Easy way of passing forbidden/banned/hot materials around without drawing attention by using the internet?
What I want to do is gather various media... banned books, counterculture zines, punk music (or any kind of music that can be subversive!), underground movies, underground comics, hacker knowledge, the works... gather it all onto this drive, and be able to share and pass it around to others. All without having to worry about a site going down, being inaccessible due to lack of network access, or having to flounder through tons of bookmarks. Just plug it in, copy the goods to another USB stick, or add the books and zines to an eBook reader or whatever, or add that music to a phone.

But there's one thing: I'm seeking some help in gathering materials for this project, so I'm asking my friends here if they can help out with providing materials!
Send me links to stuff you think would be great for this Sneakernet project! I have 500GB to work with currently but will be bumping that to 1 or 2TB soon!
