I have to admit I play Lotto Scratchers every once in awhile… I know the odds are against me. I guess I like the slow anticipation of possibly winning money as I work hard at scratching away at the surface…

Today I bought “The Big Cheese” where you have 5 chances to match up the […]

One of my favorite things after eating a Chinese meal is the fortune cookie. Yeah, I know it’s not even a Chinese thing! I started thinking why do I love the fortune cookie?

There was a chat component to the web page where you could talk to other folks , and Jeremiah would sometimes repeat the folks back to the […]

This morning I was having lunch with a friend who has been product manager at many stellar companies which have focused on building social communities. He said something interesting:
