Maslow's hierarchy for geeks on the road (via David Weinberger @ JOHO the Blog)

David Weinberger is one of my gurus on information, technology, and the future. He is at Harvard's Berman Center and blogs at JOHO the Blog. He also Twitters at https://twitter.com/dweinberger. He has authored three  excellent books: Small Pieces Loosely Joined; Everything is Miscellaneous; and The Cluetrain Manifesto.  Here is a recent post of Dave's that I love:
Abraham Maslow is famous for his Hierarchy of Human Needs:

Self-actualization
Esteem
Love
Safety
Physiological

(RageBoy has a different take on Maslow.)

In discussion with Thomas Crampton, we have come up with the Hierarchy of Traveling Geek Needs:

Free wifi
Power outlets

That’s as far as we could get.
