Guess what -- YOU'RE on the magazine cover

Not YOU, exactly, but an aerial photo of your neighborhood with your home circled.

To provide graphic illustration for their cover story on the power of databases, Reason magazine's current issue did customized printing of their cover so that every one of their 40,000 subscribers will see a satellite photo of their home and surroundings on the magazine's cover.
