  1. I looked at the last post (Gifts For Entrepreneurs) for myself actually! And I’ve seen a couple of things I want to buy for myself. The one that’s of particular interest to me (and I really want to thank you for that) is the IdeaPaint. It might just be what I need for a project I have in mind.

  2. I have to agree on the millenial part. It is no longer about merely catching visitors. You also need to understand their personality. I think millenials are quite interesting because they have such a wide range of interest.
