PSINet Japan's POP in Joi Ito's bathroom circa 1994

I lent them my bathroom to be their first POP in Japan. (People wouldn't rent space to an unknown US company.) I was probably one of the first people in Japan to have a 128K leased line in their toilet.

Joi Ito about PSINets expansion to Japan (via his bathroom). Nowadays, among other things, he's on the board of directors of creative commons.

I probably shouldn't be admitting this, but the truth is: I like geeky people.
