Okay so we all know I am a HUGE superhero fan.  I don't know if that is called escapism (is that a word), or what, but I always loved me some superhero's and stilll do too this day.  Heck, even if it's not a superhero I like, I am the first geek at the movies watchinig it.  Recently, on my radar scope, is my all time favorite lady, "Wonder Woman" coming to the big screen.  Now personally I don't think anyone but Lynda Carter could play the Amazon Princess, but that's just a personal opinion.  What really got me seething was that they changed Wonder Woman's costume.  Really?

Each year it seems like the economy knocks us down further, but we as ecommerce sellers remain resilient and keep on trucking down the road.  I think with the year 2010 coming to a close it is important for all sellers (whether  your sales are down or not), to take a moment to pause and reflect on the economy and others who aren't as fortunate as we are.
