I just stumbled across some great programming being offered by Microsoft this week as part of their “Small Business Summit“. Unfortunately, it looks like I’ve missed the first two days but there are still plenty of sessions that I hope to catch over the next three.  And by “catch” I mean try to p...

Before we even get started, let me answer a question that you will probably be asking yourself about me as you read this. “Yes” Yes, I should probably be institutionalized for even trying to compete for the terms below, let alone compete for them in California.  I guess I’m just one of those peo...
