How To Cope With Rude People
If you have dared to think that I’ve been rude to people in any capacity, might I give you a glimpse into the average minute of my average day? Yeah, how long could YOU cope with this before snapping? It’s not that I intend to be rude… it’s that I am tired of having to [...]

Blog Comment Enhancements
Blog comments are… just about dead. I’m not saying that they don’t happen, but inline community commentary isn’t as strong as it used to be.
