Marc Andreessen recently started a blog, and you should read it. In one of his recent posts -- a series on career planning -- Marc writes about the importance of geography (location), even in the age of the Internet.

"In my opinion, living anywhere other than the center of your industry is a mistake. A lot of people -- those who don't live in that place -- don't want to hear it. But it's true. Geographic locality is still -- even in the age of the Internet -- critically important if you want to maximize your access to the best companies, the best people, and the best opportunities. You can always cite exceptions, but that's what they are: exceptions."
