hey thanks for the resources. maybe it’s my rss settings, but do you have a summary to share? i got the whole blog as one email, would like to forward it to some of my colleagues but only an excerpt.
maybe i’ll just piece one together, but if you already something compact to share you could pass along…
either way, thanks again, great resource.
