In some cases, friends of mine have shared their cool stuff with me. I try to keep the headlines and descriptions short, so you must follow the links to read and decide for yourself if a topic is worth your time. Want to contribute? Just comment on any of the stories and I will be notified instantly.Fidel Guajardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01501993949303685040noreply@blogger.comBlogger937125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21589448.post-78082360415327188682017-10-09T05:55:00.001-07:002017-10-09T05:55:17.208-07:00Watch "This is Why You Don't SUCCEED - One of the Best Motivational Speeches Ever" on YouTube<div dir="auto"><a href="https://youtu.be/3ev7GXzFTPg">https://youtu.be/3ev7GXzFTPg</a></div> Fidel Guajardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01501993949303685040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21589448.post-77309704216867428722016-08-19T09:29:00.001-07:002016-08-19T09:29:54.306-07:00File Upload For Developers<div dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.filestack.com">https://www.filestack.com</a><br> </div> Fidel Guajardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01501993949303685040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21589448.post-50913997381977309892016-08-08T10:37:00.001-07:002016-08-08T10:37:51.839-07:00Physical Mail At Scale<div dir="ltr">Send physical mail at scale. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:proxima-nova,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:22.8571px;text-align:center">Print and send mail with a few lines of code.
