the name
mj writes: "When my parents translated my given name from Hebrew to
English in 1962 in Des Moines, Iowa, they probably never dreamed that it
would eventually lead to the name of a company. Having grown up as Mary
Jane Bear, my high school friends were kind enough to find a nickname --
MJ -- which has thankfully stayed with me since. When I left my position
as VP for Online at NPR (yes it was one of the best jobs an Internet
person and a journalist could hope for) I started a consulting practice
and mjbear.com just had a ring to it. Far from an egotistical move, it
was much more pragmatic."
