An Open Mid-Life Crisis
Sometimes it is better to just accept where you are at. That way you don’t pop off and do something stupid.

DC’s Social Media Future

District of Corruption Episode 15: Loren Feldman a Shock Jock?
Kicking off Episode 15 with an announcement that Aaron is one of April’s sexiest geeks.
Then we got into the show with a discussion surrounding the AOL acquisition of Sphere. Sphere provides a widget that pulls related content from around the web. Aaron doesn’t like AOL so, on principle, he removed the Sphere widget when this […]
