I went to the clinic for blood tests. I have Ebola. I haven’t gotten the results back yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s Ebola. What? Why couldn’t it be Ebola? See, I went to the doctor’s a couple of weeks ago. Nothing serious, just an annual check-up. Except, the last “annual” check-up I had...
I wanted to be the one to tell you all. I’m leaving Jepeto. I guess I should explain. It all started a couple of months ago, when I had a bad dream about a beautiful, exotic girl. Which, of course, led to me getting Skyped by the beautiful, exotic girl. It was my first...

It was the last thing I expected to see in my inbox. I was scrolling my way through all my emails, like I do every morning. Optical industry related press releases, Google Alerts, newsletters – all the stuff a marketing manager must have to ensure she is firmly up on the industry’s current events...
So, I’m on Twitter a lot, for work. Yes, really. For work. I admit, it took me a little while to figure out how to Tweet. But I’m getting the hang of it. I even downloaded TweetDeck so I could see who’s on Twitter. For the Twitter-challenged among you, let me explain. TweetDeck is...
So, it’s only a few weeks until Halloween, which, besides spending $400 on candy and convincing my son he really doesn’t need an $800 gold-plated, mechanical, battery-operated, light-up, sound-producing, shoots-real-lasers-and-comes-with-its-own-fully-operational-grenade-launcher costume, means carving a big-ass pumpkin.
