Never underestimate the power of self-determination. Ultimate fanboy Nick Newcomen drove 12,238 miles and recorded his path with a GPS device to write the words “Read Ayn Rand” across 30 states. Much like a skywriter would do, he mapped his route, then turned on the logger when he wanted to “write” a letter. When the data was loaded into Google Earth, it produced his message.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
