Jan

2010

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about marketing for two reasons. 1. I’m trying to figure out the best way to grow our business. 2.

Twitter Tip: Use Favorites as Bookmarks

Jan

2010

The most neglected feature of Twitter has to be favorites. It’s not used for much and none of the clients do anything interesting with them.

My Ten Favorite Albums of the Decade

Dec

2009

They say the older you get the faster time goes by, but 2000 – 2009 seemed like a long time to me. I don’t know if this decade offered a whole lot of originality or if I was just too lazy to find it. The main thing I took away from it was that the ...
