I can’t believe that the Corporate Barbarian Blog is a year old today! Boy, I’ve sure learned a lot in the past year. Last February, I was a blogging noob, and now, while I can’t say that I’m a seasoned veteran, at least I’m less of a noob. Here’s a selection of my favorite posts from my first year. I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
