you can get to any small town in
South America these days -- but it's a heck of a lot easier to get to
Cincinnati. Again, Cincinnati has more links and is easier to find out
about.
There's a danger in using metaphor for understanding, of course: that we might let the parallels lull us into believing there's an exact
mapping between physical travel and web travel. For example, when I was
driving around the country in an RV, my favorite mode of travel was to just head
down one of the less-traveled back roads and see what town popped up next.
There's not really an equivalent to that on the web. The closest I've found is
to just type random words into a search engine and see where they lead me. I
wish there were some more exact equivalent to quietly motoring down the road and
enjoying the scenery on the way to some unknown destination. But then, the web isn't really a geography. Or if it is, its a
geography akin to that of dreams and literature as well as to that of the
physical world.

interested in a vanity press; I'm interested in providing a forum for issues

I'm also in need of a good designer
