Politics and religion. The two subjects you’re not supposed to ask about.
I blow it on both counts. I continually ask people about their spiritual and political beliefs.

For the past few weeks we’ve been experimenting with Twitter, the micro-blogging service that gives you 140 characters per entry to tell the world what you’re doing.
We decided to limit our tweets to work-related updates and to our blog feed, as a means of branding HeBlogsSheBlogs.com. So if you read our tweets, it’ll sound like [...]
