Expectations of a Software Developer

Impetus

Thomas Ingham | 06-16-08

There were so… many… people. Men and women both, survivors of the disease. I’d heard the mantra of the Komen foundation before: “A world without breast cancer” but I didn’t get it.

Finding the least negative impact

So, I’ve been tossing around the idea of biking to work. The route that my wife would like me to use is the shortest, but I don’t like the fact that there is no shoulder, or bike lane, and the…
