BTF (Best Twitter Friend), Traffoxy, and perfectolicious; what do all of these words have in common? I had never heard any of them until I met Jenni Hogan.
As the KIRO 7 Traffic Anchor, Jenni’s main job is to get commuters to their destination, whether that be to work or away from it. But for all of [...]


Gnomedex Report: Microsoft Surface

If you’re like me, you like technology. If it beeps, lights up, or plugs into a wall, chances are it’s going to absolutely fascinate me. At this year’s Gnomedex, I found something that took me way beyond fascination.
