June 2008: Somewhat sappy dad post
It was a somewhat sparse month here at mrjerz.org, but the quality was still there. The forthcoming newsletter has been weighing on my mind. What should I do? Should I promote the entire reach of my empire, or should I just keep it to this site and wh…
Because Scoble is empirical data

The mrjerz.org monthly newsletter
