Last week I wrote this thought on my white board in my office: What is it that you most love in life, and how do you express it in your day to day routine? Thinking about the aunts and uncles who’ll be at this year’s Christmas gathering, and realizing that the list is getting shorter. …
CNET’s Technically Incorrect blog, asked the question about whether makers of the following public service announcement (PSA) went too far depicting the dangers of texting while driving.
