A full circle moment, 31 years later

November 5th - via: kickstarter.com
We've got 30 days left in this campaign and a recent piece of press about it really got me reflecting on my career up until this point. One of my first jobs out of high school in 1994 was working the graveyard shift (9pm-7am), bundling newspapers at... (Read More)
