  • More

    When reading the ABOUT tab on some web sites, I got no idea what the companies were ABOUT. Apparently they sell some intangible services, such as Human Development, but were afraid to say so.

  • Remember ABBA‘s Happy New Year refrain? Seems so far away, yet so near. Remember those resolutions? To finish a book, lose a few pounds and pick up a new skills? Almost 80 days into the year. Even in the days of hot air balloon, people would  have finished circling around the globe. There has been…

  • It’s only been a bit more than 15 years since the Internet entered our homes (You’ve Got Mail). Before that we got to run errand, with multiple stops e.g. at the library, bookstores and retail stores. Now, just Google it. Price-comparison shopping, or just ordering it online. We find friends online, learn online and practically…
