It cannot be avoided. It is the new year and talk of resolutions will abound. However, rather than blog about new year's resolutions in December when people are speaking of future commitments or January 1st when we are still buzzing with excitemen…

Sherral McKeithen commented on Pedro S. Silva II's blog post 'Companies Have Feelings Too'
