With that being said, I think I should shut this blog down again. http://marveldesigner.com/blog/?p=198 Smart boss + smart employee = profit Smart boss + dumb employee = production Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime http://marveldesigner.com/blog/?p=196 A study conducted by NewMediaMetrics found a significant difference in the types of digital behavior embraced by the X and Y generations when it comes to child raising.  Gen Y is much more attached to media that connects them to other moms (online communities, blogs, video-sharing sites, etc.), while Gen ... http://marveldesigner.com/blog/?p=189 Thinking out loud here. There's a trap that we all fall into in Web development, which is building something we want and then trying to figure out how to get people to use it.
