In His Natural Habitat

This is Ed Vielmetti, lead blogger for AnnArbor.com, shown through a cubbyhole as he works in his corner of the first-floor community space. Ed writes the weekly FOIA Friday column for AnnArbor.com. He has a degree in economics from the University of Michigan and has worked on the commercial development of the Internet since 1989. He has more than 20 years of Internet experience in systems design and analysis, and has been recognized by the BBC and Forbes Magazine as an Internet pioneer. If you go to AnnArbor.com's homepage and click on the "All Topics & Neighborhoods" pull-down menu, you'll see – just beyond crime, education, government, opinion and a host of other categories – is the "Ed Vielmetti" category. Ed puts the "hyper" in hyperlocal.
