As the final hours of 2011 slowly tick away, I thought I’d try to recap 2011 as it happened for me. Believe me, that’s pretty tough to do. Sure, there are a few highlights I can [vaguely] recall, but with twelve months, there’s got to be more than three or […]
From all of us here at The France Hopper Network and ai|inc, we wish you and your family a safe and joyous Christmas. Here’s hoping you received everything you wished for. Oh, and go easy on the eggnog this year. But as for the chocolates, eat your heart out 😉
