Our mission...

Providing insight! We produce insight by the word, sentence, paragraph, story, column or if you prefer by the pound. Let us know your editorial requirements at: rwsteele@theinsightworks.com

At the Insightworks, we are interested in how people use technology in their daily lives, the role of technology in economic development, and the political, economic and environmental consequences resulting from the daily application of emerging technologies. We seek to explain how intelligent transportation systems, traffic congestion, economic development, e-commerce, wireless communications, and land use policies will impact the future of our readers. We produce carefully researched and crafted stories, articles, and op-ed columns.


We believe that wisdom comes from insight, and that insight comes from hard work. Let us go to work for your readers!

Our labor of love is writing about the Blackbird mine, and the ghost town it created - Cobalt Idaho. A second project examines technology driven economic development in the Sierra foothills, from 1950 to 2000. We are answering the question: why does Nevada County, California, have a high technology business cluster that is the envy of other foothill counties?
