Life in America, then and now
Posted on August 22nd, 2008 by Jackie Danicki
I come from immigrant stock and think often of my great-grandparents, who refused to learn English and suffered for it. I think of how their son went to work as a teenager during the Great Depression for a couple of nickels an hour, and ended up with a pretty nice life after working 47 years […]

One of my colleagues from the web development side of Qik said to me today, “It seems so glamorous to work in the marketing team.” Yep, so glamorous it’s killing me.

I can’t help but smile when I see this guy every day! He’s a genius, but don’t tell him I said that or he’ll expect me to be nice instead of the mean snake he’s used to.

Quote of the day
Posted on August 18th, 2008 by Jackie Danicki

This is my first time in Las Vegas, and […]

Nokia picks Qik
Posted on August 13th, 2008 by Jackie Danicki
