Another Reason why the Internet is Cool

October 5, 2004

I have this tiny side business selling used books through Amazon.com. I enjoy noting where the buyer is from and what they have purchased. The Melville reader in Kansas, or the hockey fan in Mississippi. Today I shipped a book to Unalaska, AK, my first sale outside the lower 48. I had to look it up, and was delighted to see where it was. Zoom out and pan for greater effect.

Apparently, the location isn’t all that convenient for movie theaters, though you can find a bite to eat. Tino’s Steakhouse is a Mexican restaurant, and pretty good, but as pricy as you would expect a restaurant to be in Unalaska.
