Everything is #BREAKING today! We have a new WebPros CEO, and Endurance International Group has been acquired (think Bluehost, Constant Contact, and more). Let’s see if I can get this out before another bit of breaking news …

Not like the news cycle is totally consumed with the U.S. election but let’s take a Monday break with some geeky stuff. And tomorrow, think about this, I know many if not all Americans (even others around the world) will be stressed – regardless of affiliation – today, tomorrow, and maybe even longer. If there’s one thing I can suggest to take control, spend some time with all the news off (social, cable, tv, radio, everything). Give yourself a break from the barrage. In fact plan on those breaks. I’ve added “timeouts” into my calendar already.
