May 9, 2009 by Steven Savage

And we're voyaging into the mundanely practical yet again! This time it's why you're going to want to know content creation in the changing economy.

April 27, 2009 by Steven Savage

I was reading an interesting article on how stereotypes can derail your personal 'brand'. It made some good points, and I responded with some of my own strategies. I'd like to go into my own ideas of dealing with stereotypes.

If you're reading this blog, changes are you're a professional geek/nerd of some kind, or hope to be.
