What I Learned from Slideshare and Project Playlist: Shift Happens

October 5th, 2007 · 3 Comments

I’m one of those kind of guys constantly thinking about growth, goals and change. You know, personal development stuff. So it’s safe to say that I have quite a few goals–some of them lofty (at least from where I’m sitting now )
