Since my first job working in the web and tech worlds back in 1995, I spent most of the time working as a freelancer and consultant. In February I left that world to work at an office job. To be honest, I was thrilled to be working in an office where I had my very own cubicle. There is something about spending 8+ hours every day working out of the same spot — a space you can decorate (hello “Boston rocks” sticker wall!) and call your own.

One of the things I liked the most about it was that it wasn't just a tech / web / internet industry event. I've been thinking ...
One of my new clients that I'm working with on marketing projects is Mix&Meet. They are a Boston start-up that offers a twist to the typical social networking website. They've launched their first site in Boston at www.MixBoston.com. The idea is simple (and pretty damn cool if you ask me!) -- on a moment's notice ...
