Boiling it down to a slogan
Tom, Nathan and I goofing in our hallway Years ago, I used to sign off email with Happy day! I don t recall how it started or even how it stopped, like most things it was gradual. I do know I missed it being my signature. There was something about typing it that reminded me [ ]
This week Adobe released some browser share stats. I saw the graph and saved the article, thinking it was tweetworthy. The big news was Chrome/Android passing IE for browsing dominance.
