A company in downtown Boston is looking for somebody experienced in content management systems. Sure, yawn if you must, but look at what they're doing:
Book of Odds Enterprises, Inc. is a start-up company creating a unique database of statistical information that will serve as a base for a dedicated website. The work is groundbreaking in its conception and will create a new fundamental reference work. Fifty man-years of research, done to academic standards but translated into easily understood terms, has produced over 500,000 Odds Statements about the details of daily life and a remarkable semantic database.

My friend Elise did a co-op
My friend Elise did a co-op (Northeastern thing) and has worked part time there on their Book of Odds. Really cool idea, although it seems as if it's been in production for EVER.
I do not fully understand
I do not fully understand how this will work. Will it be more of an Wolfram Omega thing where people will search for the info or is it going to be mostly more like a website/blog that tosses out a few tidbits daily like lolcats for stat geeks?
