I passed my one year anniversary of leaving Facebook a few weeks ago after having thought about it for quite some time. I proved to myself that I don’t need it. I’ve had a few moments when I’ve wondered if I should go back, especially after I had been off it for so long. I …

I would describe our life the past five weeks as a total blur. April is always David’s busiest month of the year professionally for a couple of reasons, but this April (starting in mid-March, actually) was a complete and total blur.

I’ve done a few reader surveys over the years, but I realized that I’ve never shared the results. As I was watching the survey answers accumulate over the weekend and on Monday, I thought at least some of you would be interested in the outcome. Some of the results were genuinely interesting.
