A great array of posts were generated this week across the many Stepping Stone Partners blog sites.  Enjoy!

The Inauguration was the big topic of the week.  Along with the two posts on this blog, these three pieces explore the event from different perspectives:

Alex wrote about how Internet use during the inauguration revealed infrastructural weaknesses in our Internet system.

Sid finished his series of four posts with Thank God in My Lifetime.

Richard wrote a piece titled The Levers of Power.

Also this week Rita presented two posts focusing on the same event from different perspectives here and here.

The beauty of the outdoors in winter was expressed by Cindy here

And by Gerald, who took his photo class outdoors for a winter walk.

Finally, we are excited to announce the newest addition to our blog roll.  Mike has launched On the road which goes ever on and on.
