This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      @swardley Okay, if you're arguing the position that 90% of all C-level+ leadership is useless, along with advice they buy, I'm on board :)
