Seriously. Twitter, you are the newest culprit. The main reason I am thinking about not going forward with the whole franchise idea is that I will have to spend lots of time marketing my business to people. I just don’t know how to exist in this society sometimes. … →

Right. I realize that I haven’t blogged in over a year. I am working on remedying that, and have a bunch of half-finished projects to prove it. More on that later.

<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out how to sum up <span class="caps">SXSW</span> 2009 since I got back, and I&#8217;m still not sure I can do it.
