A while back, our friend Andy Hayes – that travel guy, launched a new website – Can I Drink the Water?

We thought it was brilliant.  It very simply answers the question – “is it safe to drink the water?” for over 200 countries. A very handy reference tool for travelers .

Re-Calculating

On May 2, 2011 By

The new-to-us GPS unit we recently purchased from my father instructs us to turn left.  We ignore her, and turn right instead… our way seems more scenic.

This past year we have been experimenting with selling electronically distributed products, namely our iOS applications ‘State Lines‘ and ‘Coverage?‘, and our ‘Answers to Common Excuses‘ eBook.

We thought it would be interesting to share the hard numbers behind these roll-outs, because there isn’t a lot of real-world publicly available data showing [...]
