    I’m a bit of a nerd. I like Star Trek (yes, even Deep Space Nine), I read The Lord of the Rings once a year or so, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my all time favourite TV shows. Social media appeals to me on the same level somehow. It can really cool…

    Today I almost forgot it was #AprilBlogaDay!  Fortunately, Chris Crouch sent a topic that inspired my thinking.

How can I influence? Who can I influence? I participated in #satchat on Twitter this morning (7:30 EST)and was part of…

I really believe that people who laugh a lot are way happier than those who don’t. I’m not talking about cracking jokes or being sarcastic at the expense of others. I mean the…
