On My Own Again - I'm Back in the Saddle
When I started working for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with the first role with the title "social" in it (see my sum-up here), I came in with a desire to serve, but only planning to be there for 6 months.

The Death of Google Reader: Did Email Kill the RSS Star?
Alas, the day has come. We knew it was coming and we were all just digging in our heels waiting for the day. I admit I'm not as mad as before, as the dust has settled off since they killed sharing and replaced it with a very limited Google+ sharing feature (on top of the "send to" feature that was there before).

The Power of Starting Something Stupid [Book Review]
In my life, I have a rich dad and a poor dad (see Robert Kiyosaki). My poor dad is always keen to tell me that going out on my own and running my own business is "stupid", risky, and a bad decision. My rich dad tells me it's the most secure and rewarding decision I can make. Show More Summary

The Microsoft Surface's Beauty is Only "Surface Deep"
As a long-time Microsoft fan (my first computers were all PCs), and with all my excitement about Windows 8, I was very excited about the Microsoft Surface. In fact, I was so excited that despite Press not getting complimentary Surface tablets (or even trial ones) at Microsoft's recent Windows Build conference, I went out and bought my own.

I wrote previously of my fitting by DressCode, my new "suit guys", that made me a custom-tailored suit and put me in tip-top fashion amongst my colleagues. They came to my house (they'll also come to your office), measured me, and within a couple weeks I was wearing a top-quality suit that in traditional tailors would cost me $1,000 or more.

In the early days of Facebook's developer platform (2007, to be exact), as apps were going from 0 to 2 or more million users in just a matter of days, family history apps were among the first to rise to the top. The link between family connections and friend connections seemed like a natural fit for apps that were built to connect one another. Show More Summary
