- "On the face of it, the Internet appears to make geography obsolete. But the reality is rather more complicated. If you want a high-speed digital-subscriber line (DSL) connection, for example, geographical proximity to a telephone exchange is vital, because DSL only works over relatively short distances. Similarly, go to retrieve a large software update from an online file library, and you will probably be presented with a choice of countries from which to download it; choosing a nearby country... |

(b) Start a Web movement or e-mail campaign to lobby the government and other shoppers to stop doing business with companies that send jobs overseas? (c) Hang up your keyboard and learn a new skill, like massage therapy or nursing, that can't be bought and sold o... |

- I have always taken considerable pride in our association with The Old Farmer's Almanac. Not only is the Almanac drenched in considerable history -- it's North America's oldest continuously published periodical -- but the work we do for them is right up our alley: creating simple, useful web-based tools that let you do things like look up weather history and find out when the sun is going to come up. The sister publication of the Almanac, YANKEE magazine, presents us with similar opportunities: answering challenges like help me plan my vacation, and I need a recipe for Boston Cream Pie. |

- For some reason that, over ten years working here, I have never completely understood, Peterborough, New Hampshire is something of a hotbed of magazine publishing. Even more so if you look back into the past. When I was a tadpole geek back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was an avid reader of Byte and Creative Computing magazines (there's an interesting story about their founding); both were published in Peterborough. Although both magazines are now gone (Byte lives on as a fee-based web publication), and the granddaddy of Peterborough magazines, 73, ceased publication last year, there's still plenty of publishing happening here. |
