Fast Fedora Trevor Lohrbeer. Thoughts from the man in the fedora. Under the Covers with the Web. Yesterday at the Business of Software conference, Seth Godin spoke about tribes.

Fast Fedora Trevor Lohrbeer. Thoughts from the man in the fedora. Under the Covers with the Web. The Results: 10 Days of Keeping in Touch. Three weeks ago I started My 10 Day Experiment in Keeping in Touch. My goal was to contact a different person each day that I had fallen out of touch with and re-connect.
