Twitter is all the rage these days. Several big blogging names are fully on board tweeting away. And a few others have not embraced the idea. The die hard Twitter converts would probably add a “yet” at the end of that last sentence. We’ll see.
Fortunately for me their IM connectivity is still not working, at [...]

Dear AT&T
I awoke this morning to a very unpleasant example of your apparent unilateral corporate heavy handedness. And I’m not happy about it.

The Problem
The other day I was cruising around some top quality bloggage when I happened across Kent Blumberg’s place. Kent talks a lot about leadership principles, which is why I keep an eye on his blog.

The results are in.
We started last week by asking the question Quantity vs Quality – Which is Better?
We had a lively discussion about it.
Several of you really wanted me to add a “Both” choice on the poll. But that would have been too easy.

It started early yesterday morning.
The cell phone never seems to be more than three feet from me, even when I’m sleeping at night. Especially at night.
