    Another example on how you can make a decent living online: &lt;a href=&quot;http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/sethsmainblog/~3/8Smd88eEvw0/the-secret-of-the-roush-effect.html&quot;&gt;Gerald Roush had 5000 newsletter subscribers&lt;/a&gt; which each paying $130 annually.  Impressive.  Reminds me of &lt;a href=&quot;http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/overnight-success/&quot;&gt;Chris Guillebeau&lt;/a&gt;.  There is an infinite number of niches like that.

    Here is an interesting blog entry by Shane Paterson that explains why a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.javaworks.co.nz/blojsom/blog/default/2008/07/23/A-rose-by-any-other-name&quot;&gt;Naval Architect is called Architect&lt;/a&gt;.  I don&#039;t quite agree with his suggestion to change Solution Architect to Solution Engineer, but that is another question.&lt;br /&gt;

    And why does this matter?  Because I work for Vitae.  This is a great deal and a milestone for this company.  Read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vitaepharma.com/news/NewsRelease2005Jun20.pdf&quot;&gt;the official press release&lt;/a&gt;, and there has also been a decent amount of press coverage.
