I’m a communicator. And the moment you meet me – I immediately inform you that my family is Albanian, I’m from Akron, Ohio, and I love to be outside. I’m not sure why I find it necessary to rattle off these stats. It’s most likely an attempt to prepare people for a relatively simple approach [...]
Out of the 300,000+ apps that exist – there’s this one that draws (pun intended) on a very basic concept; it’s as simple as two words: Draw Something. Literally, the premise of the app is to draw something. Here’s how it works: along the lines of Pictionary, you pick a word from a list of [...]
Connelly Partners is a family. A large, loud and slightly dysfunctional one – but really, whose isn’t? And whose family isn’t complete without a unique brand of celebrations?
