My laptops are usually full of stickers. While my usual excuse for them is that stickers are great conversation starter, there is a point where there are too many for the individual stories to matter. That’s why I’m happy that I’ve been more conservative with this sticker real estate. Looking at it while surviving 11-hour […]
My summer in San Francisco is now over and it was a blast. Today I want to briefly comment on the events, meetups and other social events that social media and tech geeks organize over there.
