Tri-state road review
Yesterday I was driving around the area where Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana meet. Some roads were I96 and highway 20 (is that an Ohio highway?).

Also talks about the basic ideas of the web ala Tim Berners-Lee, nodes and what not. Interesting in retrospect. I wonder how the new web community would respond to this column if it was…
