Wednesday, November 04, 2009 6:04 PM
I know I know - I deserve a tomato (or two) in my face for not posting since Kawasaki’s talk in SxSW early this year. Man, blame Twitter! that little thing got me to feel I didn’t need to blog anymore as kind of satisfied my need to reach...

Monday, November 02, 2009 1:24 PM
