Midwest Web Sense

Midwesterners are alternately viewed as open, friendly, and straightforward, or sometimes stereotyped as unsophisticated and stubborn.

Wikipedia on Midwestern Culture

That's us.

• Web scale management: from personal productivity to global governance
• Software freedom and open source engineering
• Digital media literacy: free culture and knowledge capture and exchange
