1. My clients and I started sliding into Great Depression 2.0 at the very tail end of 2006 -

I had a client release an app I wrote for him just before the meltdown. It was already bad at that point, but it's been really bad since then.

It is possible and the OWS movement is bringing that need into greater focus.

The kids "aren't gonna take it."

have a better day.
