I haven't picked up a copy in years. Do they still print pictures of phone booths on the back of every cover?

You may want to rethink the use of hyphens in your domain name. I can't tell you how much I came to regret my choice of using a hyphenated domain after a while. I promise that you will quickly tire of telling people "Check out the site at The dash local dash kitchen dot com."

LocalKitchenKit.com is available... I'd just steer clear of those hyphens if I were you ;)

Interesting...CNN appears to have pulled the content...

I think you hit the nail on the head. With all of the resources that are currently available on the internet, it is easier than ever for a non-technical person to learn enough about programming for them to piece together a programatic solution to a wide variety of problems.

In an age where many people spend 40+ hours per week in front of a computer screen, even a small marginal increase in a computer user's productivity could save them hundreds of hours a year. As a result, it seems like a completely reasonable investment of a non-technical person's time and energy to learn enough about programming to enable them to scrap together a program that allows them to accomplish simple tasks more efficiently.

Would a professional programmer be able to write better code more quickly? Of course. But would a person with zero programming knowledge even recognize when a particular task they are spending hundreds of hours each year manually performing could easily be automated? Probably not.
