MSM wants to bring us the news through mobile devices, but they are actively discouraging users from reading on mobile devices.

So there’s a little website up that lets you calculate your personal brand online. I’m not sure how it works, but it looks pretty nifty. Apparently I’m pretty good, because I got this: I’ve yet to hear about anyone getting a bad grade on this site, so I’m curious to find out what other people […]
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
Image via Wikipedia Hello folks. You may have noticed that blog activity has been low lately. Well there is a reason. For one, I’ve been working hard on developing a CMS/Blogging/Community platform for GMU called onMason.
