Pitfalls of Working with Humans
“All things are difficult before they are easy. “ Thomas Fuller I am not a person who writes anything personal on the web.

The little personal website company has to start tightening up a bit and being a bit more picky with the work and not letting themselves get taken advantage of.

Google Animated Doodle “Little Nemo in Slumberland”
I love the animated Google Doodles that Google puts out once in awhile. Today’s Doodle, “Little Nemo in Slumberland”, was so charming and fun I decided to make a video of it for anyone who may miss it today.
