Hi All,
I wanted to get a pulse on how you feel about designers who work a
good amount of their time from a home office. I've noticed that most
companies prefer 9-5 onsite employees. The reasoning that most often
comes up is that it's "corporate culture" and better for communication.

Hi Jake,
I think some talented designers from Stimulant in San Francisco might

While not specifically for wireframing, I've been using "CMapTools"
