Scheduling Note: This week we're starting our "summer hours" schedule here at the Resonance blog. For the next couple of months, we'll be posting twice a week: a "reg'lar" post each Tuesday and our usual Twitter Roundup each Friday. Happy Summer!

Now that Thanksgiving 2011 has come and gone, we can officially say we're in the closing weeks of 2011 ... which means that, ready or not, it's time to start thinking about 2012.
