We’ve all walked into offices — a lawyer’s office, perhaps, or a professor’s — and seen the person’s diplomas quietly displayed on the wall.  But have you ever been in the presence of someone who is so over-the-top about their achievements that they come across as full of themselves, rather than qualified?

On the Cutting Edge »

This morning I was reading the news, and I found this amazing article, about a procedure that may be able to restore sight for the blind.

Why I Love Skyros Designs »

One of the companies that I feel really supportive of right now is Skyros Designs. This is a company that sells really beautiful jars and ceramics.
Some of the top reasons that I’m loving Skyros right now are:

First, I’ve been working as an inside sales consultant pushing a company backed initiative to support inside sales outsourcing.
