It’s Been a Crazy Week: Technology, Iaido, & Non-Profit Changes!!!

Really sorry I’m not blog­ging more! I wish I had time, but I’ve been quite busy. Next week looks to be even busier, as I am tak­ing a two day “power mes­sag­ing” course given by my col­league Rick.

Ear­lier, I was rec­om­mended on #fol­lowfri­day by Jason Eng­lish (Jason blogs for ITKO who makes, as far as I can tell, a great set of test­ing tools) as “biz or bizarre”. […]
