trying to win the internet.
I don’t always end up liking the original domain names that I purchase and very few last the test of time. The most obvious long-lasting domains that I have are actually this blog (http://john.do) and my proper name URL, among others.

Every single episode elicits a few head-nods and a few “ah-ha’s” and I really love that.
This is really neat:
A framework for entry-level web literacy & 21st Century skills.
Time to level-up a bit.
I saw this shared randomly on the interwebs sometime ago and I thought I’d capture it here and add a few wandering thoughts related to hiring.

I particularly like the lyrics to this new song via Arcade Fire… and especially the chorus:
I’ve mentioned this in the past here but this past Friday I graduated from the class and celebrated with my cohort on a job well-done.
