Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

About 2 and a half years ago, when I learned that I had only 3 months more at my position as Web developer with United Methodist Communications, I applied with another UMC agency for a “Social Media Director” position. Despite my packed resume dating back to 1991  â€“ focusing on everything from which Social Media is derived today, back to Continue Reading

Love this post by @BrainMerritt in support of @MicahBales

I concur deeply.  In other words,  a hearty amen on just about every point.   I’m disappointed  in RLC,  as I have been over the past year in the “social justice” orgs and their strange,  what I can only identify as “reticence” to really be a support and encourager and enabler and participants with the Occupy movement.  To say “they Continue Reading
