#3Cool article about undersea cables (instead of working on a fishing rig in Alaska it would be fun to work a specialized fiber-laying vessel like the Wave Venture mentioned in the article.)

#4For everyone that hasn't read the article by Neal Stephenson on under ocean fiber optic, here it is: http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass_pr.html
If you haven't read it, I strongly recommend it. It covers how under ocean cable is laid, how the construction industry works, how the telephone industry works, and the history of the telephone/telegraph.
