As it happens, the State of Wisconsin was looking for a forest economist &#8211; and the post would be back in Madison near family. Of course, since I last posted here we have had [&#8230;]]]></description>

It was a tough decision to leave New Zealand, and we sincerely love the lifestyle there. If the people of Darwin are half as accepting of us [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve made it through earthquakes, spent serval weeks without full facilities, and had a lot of hardships to deal with, but we&#8217;re proud to have done some really excellent work [&#8230;]]]></description>

I propose that adding a "credibility" layer to a system like Foursquare would limit cheating, encourage constructive participation and make it more useful. It's economics at work.]]></description>

Known as the “meta keywords” or just simply “keywords” it was often heavily loaded with terms customers would be searching for, and the theory was that the more you had, the better your ranking on Google.

First off, let me dispel a myth: we’re not connected by satellite, we’re connected by a cable. While high speed satellite communications are in the works for places like [&#8230;]]]></description>
