Did you know I used to be crazy about baseball, and even more crazy about baseball card collecting? When I was about 10 or 11 I used to sort baseball cards for a guy who owned a baseball card shop in town. He evidently liked me and took me under his wing to teach me the business with his son (the one putting me in a headlock at a baseball card convention). To this day,...
I changed the header images on the site a few weeks ago, which included a more professional picture of me. I wanted to give you some background on it. At work, I was talking to Brian about a new project which we thought may require employee avatars.

Yes, I know I...
From Mailman to Post Office Builder I recently participated in a LinkedIn discussion, and I wanted to open it up to the world (or anyone who wanted to read or contribute to it). It is partially edited so it reads better in a blog format. I thought what John Clarkson commented back was brilliant. What do you think? Any brave souls out there? Social media's value is that it is created and communicated by the...
