Update: As you can see from the previous post, my designer Sunny [...]

You know it’s bad when…

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

…you’re dreaming about TweetDeck. Recently, I finally gave in and joined the Twitter Revolution. I did it for the kids, specifically for kids impacted by divorce as I am tweeting on behalf of CoParenting101.. Follow me!

“What’s the difference between MySpace and Facebook?”

Sunday, August 24th, 2008
