tooling around: taking your tools to go

By plainjane on March 2, 2012

Last week I went on my first official business trip. Actually, it was a week of firsts: first trip to Philly, first time meeting several of my indiepreneur idols, first time traveling with a laptop… Wait. What? It is true.

tooling around: words

By plainjane on February 3, 2012

For all their weightlessness, words can feel awfully heavy. Every word has the capacity to leave its indelible mark on someone’s heart. Say something kind and watch [...]

tooling around: customers can be such tools

tooling around: customers can be such tools

By plainjane on January 20, 2012
