While I might play an uber-techie at work, I really depend upon much smarter and techier people than me to make sense out of all this stuff flying at me on a daily (hourly) basis. For instance, one of my go-to smarties is Jayne Navarre for all things digital technology in the legal space.

I invited JD Supra’s Adrian Lurssen to my San Francisco office to give a presentation to our lawyers up here. Fire them up to take our blogging and content to the next level. We had a full house. Great discussion. And then he broke the news to me about Google Reader being retired.

I just got off an interesting survey call with BTI. I was pretty candid with my answers, so I’ll either throw the bell-curve off, or make for some interesting “comments.” At the end of the call I was asked if there was a question that they hadn’t asked? I thought for a few moments
