Thanksgiving Day is upon us. And while some of us haven’t finished eating our Halloween candy, Tactile would like to pause and give thanks; to truly consider all that we have to be grateful.

Tactile is, if anything, an incredible family. One that is as humble as it is diverse. As we reflect on the previous year, we want to share our appreciation with you, our readers and clients and partners – those who help make it all possible. This year, we are adding a special thanks for those little conveniences in life – be they apps, sites, and even podcasts – that make the marathon all the more meaningful.

To begin, a most-welcome thank you to our partners, friends, mentors and contributors for all the opportunities you provide us. We love learning from and growing with you!

Thanksgiving is more than eating. We should just be thankful for being together.

I’m thankful to be able to celebrate this season with my birth and chosen families who have seen me through some rough times. Also, I’m thankful for LastPass. Not only does to give me back the hours I used to spend trying to remember all of my passwords, it generates strong passwords that I don’t have to remember!    

Marc Coleman  //  President/CEO 

This year as always I am thankful for my family, both logical and biological, and for my health. Also thankful for Evernote which allows me to keep track of all the different aspects of my life - everything from grocery lists to training for half marathons to home repair status to yard work to holiday pie baking to how many times I plan to see the new Star Wars movie. (spoiler alert: it's a lot!)

As a telecommuter and someone that relies heavily on word processing and video conferencing tech, I’m very thankful for the tools that allow me to work remotely from beautiful Southern California. I’m also thankful for the civic-minded workers at those companies that take on great risk by protesting, striking, and calling out misconduct.
