What kind of car are you?

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

On yesterday’s Croncast, Kris and Betsy brought up an interesting question:

“If I was a car, what kind of car would I be?”

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Pirillo on the iPod, Microsoft and (well) Apple in general…

We’ve officially entered my favorite time of year, “Blazer Season”…
