The Disruptors 2013 - Forbes →
Who are the people shaking up their fields most dramatically? To answer that question, we sifted through hundreds of names in scores of categories to come up with a dozen disruptors less content to improve the status quo than to blow it up.
Congrats to Mark for making the list. And deservedly so, I say! His photo is even used in the article tease across Forbes’ site. Nice!

Check out Sqwiggle →
Someone at work shared a link to a tech crunch article on Sqwiggle. I’ve played with G+ hangouts for an all-day work space kind of thing before. It has pros and cons, which Sqwiggle seems to address. I wonder if it can be left running as I’m in and out of virtual meetings on G+ all day?

Wonder Woman in the Scythian Style →
A friend posted this on Facebook. A unique take on a classic hero. Weird how much Wonder Woman is coming up this week for me, from so many different sources.

Washington Post: Redskins Seasons Ends In Ugly... →
After the Redskins jumped up 14-0, I was buying them all the way to the Superbowl. Then, Seattle’s defense finally kicked in and RG3’s knee kicked out. Ugly as can be, as this Washington Post article outlines.

Inc: The Return of Writing →
As a guy in tech with an English degree, I really appreciate this article. I agree completely and find this to be true at Canonical. Good writing is common among great people, even if the field itself is technology.
I’ve also always thought my English degree was a great asset as I’ve grown in responsibility in software development. I’m comfortable communicating in both written...

This seems like someone living too close to print comics to see reality clearly.
Yes, I know both digital and print have had booming...
