What TAM8 Felt Like To Me
It has been far too long since I’ve blogged, but the most recent Amaz!ng Meeting is a great way to get back into it. I will be doing a number of posts on TAM8 (as it’s known on the Twitters), … Continue reading

The worst Mother’s Day gift of all time.
The last minute rush for Mother’s Day gifts is nothing new. Legions of forgetful (mostly) sons and daughters used to rush into drug stores, conveniences stores or whatever the closest center of commerce was. In the digital age, online gift … Continue reading
