I had a bunch of Gmail invites land in my inbox a few weeks ago that aren’t going anywhere. If you’d like one, send me an email. One caveat: you must be in the Boston area. I’m going to have a dinner party at a restaurant in the area for my [...]

Time flies when you’re busy ignoring your websites. I didn’t quite intend to stop posting here for nearly two weeks. Oops!
