How lovely. My friends over at Rackspace’s social media group sent me and the team a wee box of “Hughtreats”, based on the litle critters I drew for them. They were made by Annie’s Petite Treats in San Antonio. The idea of these little critters was to unoffically, or at least, indirectly represent the […]

[More thoughts on The Rackspace Book…] 6. ROB LA GESSE Rob La Gesse is the groovy cat who first hired gapingvoid at Rackspace. He’s also the guy who hired my friend, Robert Scoble.
