None of these solve for [...]

My friend Mike Singleton just coined a new phrase which I like which happens after you meet someone for the first time, or correspond with them online.  It represents the full monty of online connections that can occur.  These usually happen in fast succession resulting in an avalanche of connection options coming from one person [...]

Within any workforce there are new workers and old workers. This is not an age debate and when I refer to new worker I mean new to the company and old workers as been there awhile. They say you can master a job or at least hit your stride after 18 months. So what does [...]

The Internet is now different (but you didn’t notice)

A huge change happened to the Internet last month, and I bet you didn’t notice. …one of the biggest events in the history of the Internet took place; non-Latin top-level domains went live in the DNS root zone.
