Amber MacArthur invited me to be on Net at Night to discuss Twitter and the refrigerator I hooked up to a computer to tweet the temperature. It was an awesome experience and would like to thank Amber, Leo, and Dane. I will let you know when I finish my next electronic gadget that does something/anything on the internet.

From GigaOm:
Where, a geo-enabled local search and recommendation service by Boston-based uLocate Communications, has launched Where Ads, a hyper-local advertising network. The company is launching the new network because it believes that its access to carrier infrastructure gives it an ability to deliver hyper-local and contextually relevant content and by extension highly targeted local advertising.

From Mike Taylor:
I want to make things, not just glue things together. When people ask me what I like about my job, I always say the same thing: that its the thrill of starting with nothing and making something. That, for me, is the essence of programming, and it hurts that there isn’t as much of it about as there used to be.

From PCWorld
To crowdsource its public education needs, DHS is holding a competition, called the National Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign Challenge, which ends April 30. The agency wants submissions, in Word format, of proposals for how it can “clearly and comprehensively discuss cybersecurity with the American public.”
Businesses and individuals may enter the competition, which might be a good way for a PR firm, writer, or security consultant to become better known.
