    So, can social networking really cause identity theft? This was an interesting topic that was the subject of a breakfast group meeting I attended recently.

    Don’t you love those seminars that stay with you for days, even weeks, after you attend?

It’s always a good reminder that as designers, we should never be lazy with our work and fall back to traditional designs.
