OK--you know how like everyone on the planet is supposed to be at a minimum six degrees from everyone else? Well today I experienced the not so pleasant version of this concept. I found out this morning that I knew three people on Flight 1549. The VP of Marketing, the guy who is in charge of Marketing tech innovation & development, and the marketing ......

In order for it to update, I have to go into the Options menu, and "re-attach" my twitter account to my blog. Once I do that, it pulls the latest tweets in to the ......

For the first 10 years of my professional career, ......
