Another article about dot-commers dropping out to save the world. I believe the phrase "Po Bronson moment" is misused.

I've thought about joining the Peace Corps. Seriously.

Thinking about joining the Peace Corps? That's a paddlin'.

Me too, although not for very long. My sister Kate is with the Peace Corps in Romania, and I can't tell you how much I admire her.

wait, is this the sister that used to mud? i remember her.

yeah, if i joined the PC, i'd probably end up in eastern europe -- they seem to need people with teaching experience and who also know some IT stuff, so i guess that's me. though i obviously have much more experience with the former.

Other sister. I admire them both, but only one's in the Peace Corps.

I think he meant "Peabo Bryson moment".

Also, shouldn't "dot-comers" be "dot-commers"? (Or "dot-goners"?)
