I have warned some of my Boglehead friends who invest in index funds to take into consideration that soon some of the major indexes are being calculated with the assistance of a guy in Brecksville, OH sitting around in his underwear looking out his home-office window at the deer eating his landscaping.

Truly a strange and wonderful job and they are being very accommodating about working remotely and not making me move to New Jersey ( though actually the area around Princeton looks and feels very much like where I live in Ohio.. I only wish my home were this close to NYC <g>)

>>>>>As I read this I'm sitting a hotel in Princeton, NJ on a free iBahn internet connecition ( about a tenth the speed of my ATT Uverse at home ) watching Sunday night's episode of HBOs Game of Thrones ( god I *love* it) on HBO Go. Amazed at how good the picture is ( though not as good as the HD uality on a faster connection ) Last night watched five episodes of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix streaming. They must be making great strides with this compression technology as it seems net video just gets better and better.
