Just hung up on my final conference call, the last thing I had to do for my job. That's it, after more than thirteen years with the company, it is over. It is hard not to be a bit sad. There's a lot I've invested in this company and definitely feel like many of the projects and people are my own chi…

This is a guest post from Christie's Corner. There’s a great moment in the pilot episode of Firefly. Against a backdrop of falling bombs, exploding grenades and rounds of gun fire, Bendis, a very young and very terrified solider fears he’s going to die. His superior, played by the ever…
