billhamp March 6, 2013So for the last year I’ve used Evernote pretty extensively. It’s a fantastic tool for filing. I’ve used it for everything from vacation planning to managing my rental properties. Great product. The other day Evernote had a security breach. This isn’t a big deal.

billhamp February 19, 2013I have tried to write this blog several times now. I certainly credit this one statement to making my road, specifically in business, a smoother one.
