I personally have a love/hate relationship with technology. I love technology because: I’ve met some amazing people, who I wouldn’t have met otherwise. A special shout out to Bindu, Tony and Susan!

A few days ago, I was pulling out of my garage. I was cranky and stressed, thinking about all the errands I had to do and wondering if I could finish them all in time. I also had to go over and shovel my Mom’s driveway and I was dreading that since I just shoveled […]
