The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

QSL Cards in the Time of the Internet

Ham radio or people who have shortwave listening as a hobby (not too many of them any more), collect QSL cards. These cards are what hams send each other confirming they were in contact. Shortwave radio stations send them for reports on how well the station comes in. With the Internet, QSLing in on its way to becoming a thing of the past. But now people with blogs have Google Analytics. They have a map of all the states where someone looks at a blog. TWW's blog has some states already but is looking for ways to get people from every state in the nation to look at his blog so the Google Analytics map of the US has all the states green (that means someone in the state has had the misfortune to look at TWW's blog). All ideas are welcome. (except becoming a porn blog).
