We work to update the recordnet.com website constantly with new stories, videos, photos and interactive projects. It’s not uncommon for us to be working on more than one project at a time.

I’ll start this post with a sad fact: I’ve learned of two friends’ deaths from Facebook. The first was when Facebook was in its infancy and not that many people used it. I had just graduated from college when someone wrote a post on their wall saying the name of the person followed by “RIP.” […]
