October 27, 2009

I have had a nagging feeling for awhile that HR people are actually afraid of technology.

September 17, 2009

My Cat and Mouse game with Twitter Access

April 9, 2009

Several months ago, the proxy servers had not yet been updated to block Twitter so I was free to access Twitter from the web (twitter.com) or via any [...]

Don’t be caught by co-workers and significant others when they hear the click, click, click of the keys on your mobile device. Please do us all a favor and use a mobile device with a [...]
