Overplugged is where Farm Life meets Technology

Our life is an odd one: three geeks living on a suburban Arizona farm. Kimberly and Frank work for a large Internet company. Frank teaches people the Linux operating system and runs a multitude of reports on things; Kimberly works with high profile domainers helping them monetize their investments. Evan, 14 years old yet a wee 6’3″ teenager, programs for an international Internet company and has a promising life as a programmer. Together, we left our cushy house with a pool in suburban Phoenix and bought 2+ acres of abandoned horse property with the intent on homesteading. Within two months of signing away our lives we populated the farm with 3 horses, 2 goats, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 10 snakes, 30 chickens, and a donkey.
