Proliferation of Profiling
November 11, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Just as we get comfortable with the government’s hold on our necks, they have to squeeze a little more to remind us of how “free” we are?

Finding Oppotunities & Creating Solutions
November 6, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher (This piece is a little hat-tip to our own Bobby Casey. I saw the story and the headline and couldn’t help but think of Bobby’s story and how he came to be the businessman he is today.) Is it just me or are there some scrappy folks in […]
BitCoin: Still a LOT of Ignorance
November 4, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I don’t fault people for not knowing about BitCoin. It’s normal for people to not know things.

Tech Innovators Responding: “Challenge Accepted”

Obamacare = HTTP Error 404
October 14, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher For an administration that ran and won on being the most transparent, it’s quite a difficult task to get a simple breakdown of the expenses that went into building the most defunct website in modern times.
