A lesson in progress and business

30 December 2009

From Fake Steve Jobs. My favorite part is: …what the fuck has gone wrong with our country? Used to be, we were innovators. We were leaders. We were builders. We were engineers. We were the best and brightest. We were the kind of guys who, if they were running the biggest mobile network in the […]
