The Backchannel: Snowmaggedapocalypse, Visualizing Node and Showing Support Some Love

They both kept going down, which was good enough for me. But after starting to get my training assignments through [...]

It’s All About People

November 17, 2010 – 1:00 pm

What’s important is that a Joyeur turned a dream into reality, and I’m proud of him. I’m the person who nagged him most often during [...]
