Seesmic, Twhirl, and The Gillmor Gang (with Love, Grandma)

The rant that follows is offered with incredible love and respect, though some irony. We were big on irony in the Sixties. I am a faithful listener to The Gillmor Gang, which I use as a motivator and source of comedy while getting my heart rate up in the gym. It’s an amalgam of my […]
