This is a neat concept. You enter a location and it displays a list of blogs that are published in that area. You can also cue the blogs into a single feed and get all the selected posts from a given area.
I can see this as having a professional use for journalists, politically minded people, law enforcement, marketing/PR peopl, and anyone who wants to keep tabs on the pulse of a geographic community. The main drawback being that some people simply wont post their blog because they enjoy the curtain of privacy the internet provides.
On the otherhand, if I was going on vacation in Tokyo and wanted to find some really cool clubs, I could do a survey of blogs in Tokyo and see what the people are saying without ever going there. As an added plus, Id avoid the “top 10″ clubs in the city and hopefully find a comfy dive within walking distance of my hotel.

I’m sure I’m not the only one in this town who is noticed new construction at several intersections in West Hartford. They all feature brand-new metal poles adorned with brand new traffic lights and expensive looking cameras. No doubt the hope is that these cameras will increase revenue for the town while decreasing “lawlessness”.
As reported by the Sentinel these cameras may do just the opposite. It seems the newest high school prank in towns with similar cameras is to print the valid license plate of someone who has recently offended you (like a teacher) and speed through the intersection to earn them your ticket. The owner of said license plate is then automatically mailed the ticket the following day. Contunue Reading

Sweet!
I’ve taken a job at Fathom in Hartford doing mostly web development and cross browser css work on some of their bigger projects. I’m excited to be pushed in this direction and glad to bring my experience with SEO and graphic culture to their mix.
I started last Monday and I love it! The people are creative and friendly and the office is decked out with enmities (and a Guinness tap), but its the little things —like free parking downtown— that make me really happy to be working for a company that actually cares about the wellbeing of their employees as well their bottom line.
Certinly what goes around comes around and I work late; Im debating going in on Monday anyway even though its a holiday. I havn’t quite set it up so that I can work from home and I have to get some work done for their client.
I’m still working with all my existing clients by doing work on Monday afternoon, evening and weekends, but I’m not taking on any more clients — which is a great feeling. I’ll still be on the blog, probably more frequently as I’ll be constantly looking for new solutions and work around to the web’s many mysteries.
