...is that it happens all around us every second...but we can scarcely see it.The best analogy is the claim that the world is flat. The view from space proves that theory wrong. Conversely, hindsight proves the theory of change is true.I've been living the change in popular media. Every new...
To this date, probably my most-read blog is: 50+ Royalty-Free Stock Music Sites.It started out as just a list of trusted music download sites, but it grew...and Grew....and GREW. Over the years I've added to it time and time again as various site owners noticed the traffic it was getting, and...
