I feel like this article, mostly the small town section, is in need of some statistics. The "small town effect" should be looked at very critically because lower populations equal a lower sample size, lower sample size means the data is more prone to extremes.
I spent a summer internship building an Add-in for Outlook. I think its a very undeveloped for market and I am excited to see MS continue to support it.
I have been working working on some small issues in https://github.com/servo/servo working my way to bigger issues. Also I have been working on a bittorrent client in Rust, it is my project to learn the language.
