I know next to nothing about web servers. Aside from assuming that this website resides on some cold, unfeeling machine in the middle of a desolate place like Siberia (or Scranton), Cheap and Tiny popping up on my web browser could very well be happening through via the efforts of some unearthly influence. Like Whitney Houston on a bender, for instance. So the news of a whole server fitting into a space as tiny as a USB thumb drive seems pretty grand to me, if entirely devoid of context.

Still, if you were living in a cramped studio, one no bigger than the space between your typical socialite’s ears, I guess having the ability to host your own web server and not have to relocate the microwave would have its benefits. Plus, it’s selling for less that $100 which, and again I have no context for this, would mean that your ability to eat would not have to be forgone just for you to be able to host pictures of your cat online.

Considering that I’ve said next to nothing about the USB web server (and proving once again that I can ramble on long enough to come up with 400 words of space-filler without blinking), I’d have to say that it’s still a pretty neat idea, and you should get one. Why? Because I need to get out of this apartment and move somewhere that doesn’t involve dodging gunfire during grocery runs.

(Just for the record, the idea of literally having a web server up your wazoo has only been done once. Let’s hope it never happens again.)
