It’s sunny today, Palo Alto sunny, warm and beautiful. I’ve been at work since O’dark-thirty, doing the weekly publishing thang, and I’m taking a ginger ale and blogging break for a minute. Here at My Place Of Work I’ve been dealing with the budget issues–more on that when I have news, assuming it’s the sort [...]

Tomorrow morning, the day we publish New This Week, we do the “big launch” of the annual user survey for My Place Of Work, but the truly observant will notice from our main page we soft-launched this afternoon.
