This week I am reading Small is the New Big: and 183 Other Riffs, Rants, and Remarkable Business Ideas by Seth Godin. It is quite good–chock full of useful ideas and observations. While reading it on the subway today I came upon “Fifty States, Flamethrowers and Sticky Traditions” (previously posted on Godin’s blog as The [...]

Today I received a work related email from someone I have never met. At the bottom of her email she had her work signature (an assistant to a Chair), followed by… wait for it… a link to her myspace profile.
