I was reading the Seattle Times this evening and I came across an article about the 520 Evergreen Point Floating Bridge. If you live in this area then you know how important the 520 Bridge is for the daily commute. The Bridge is one of two that span Lake Washington connecting Seattle to the vibra...

One of my guilty pleasure's is watching Dateline's: To Catch a Predator. For me it's two fold. I love that the spotlight is being shown on such a disgusting aspect of the internet.

I am glad that ActiveRain made the first post about our integration with the ActiveRain network. When we first approached them about integrating our Brio Home Search with the site I wasn't exactly sure of the terminology and how they would apply it to make things work.

I see so many people that do not have an ability to follow a lead from beginning to end.
