This is awesome. Personally, I occasionally daydream of "escaping it all" and coding by the ocean.

This piece reminded me of someone else who "escaped it all": Paul Lutus [1].

In the spring of 1976, he built a 12 x 16 foot (3.65 x 4.87 meter) cabin in Oregon and developed Apple Writer [2] on his Apple II. He documented his story in a piece entitled, Cottage Computer Programming [3].
