I’m a fan of Brad Feld’s blog, and he had a great piece yesterday about non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and why he won’t sign them. 
There’s nothing for me to add. A great read and a point of view many might not expect. I couldn’t agree more.

Sunglass Hut has just launched one of the most creative national PR campaigns I have seen in a long time (save the Old Spice dude).
