Friday Fiesta: universe-shifting, Postini, and mongeeses
Happy Friday!
This week, instead of dressing up like cats, we got another cat. I am totally not a cat fan, but apparently, my brain has been destroyed by our two-year-old.
Don't have a cat, but looking for a way to bring some joy to the world? You can nominate Salsa for Most Valuable Tech at RootsCamp!
