Amanda Congdon leaves Rocketboom.<\/a><\/p>\n North Korea launches missiles.<\/a><\/p>\n Yeah, both news items are about rockets, sort of, but let’s get real: a business split, of a small though high profile tech business, versus ongoing proof that our fearless leader picked the wrong "axis of doom" when looking for weapons of mass destruction. <\/p>\n Sure Amanda is cute and Rocketboom was fun and the ongoing soap opera is like the proverbial train wreck. But, let’s have some perspective.<\/p>\n Troops are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/a> North Korea is marching irreversibly down a nuclear path.
