Bart Lorang is the CEO of FullContact API, a Denver based internet start-up. He is not your normal corporate type preferring to wear open neck polo shirts, shorts and flip flops---that's right, flip flops---to work.

We all have different tastes, so I don't expect that you will be reading what I am.

June 23, 2012 Now that we're into the "Frog Days Of Summer", we'll be driving more on those vacation trips. The good news is that local gas prices continue to go down.
