&#8220;In a mtg.&#8221;
&#8220;Really?&#8221; I thought to myself. &#8220;That&#8217;s your auto-responder: you&#8217;re in a meeting?! And you&#8217;re so important that you can&#8217;t even spell out meeting??!!&#8221;
Jeez. &#8220;Out of office&#8221; or &#8220;on vacation&#8221; notices are one thing. But life must be pretty bad for the ego that feels inclined to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t for the life of me understand why so many people despise checking email. For me, it&#8217;s like getting little packages in the mail several times a day. Of course, that&#8217;s not the case if you fail to follow a few sanity rules. Mine are as follows:

When I first discovered RSS, I went crazy. I subscribed to more than 400 feeds out one time. Ridiculous. And even though I&#8217;ve since reduced that number to a mere 40, I&#8217;m still inundated with repurposed, rehashed, and regurgitated information. Why can&#8217;t someone just point me to the good stuff?
Actually, someone can. At least as [...]]]></description>

True to chain letter form, Lindsey emailed me the following &#8220;friend survey&#8221; today. With exception to nos. 23 and 41, her responses made me proud to call her my wife—especially with Valentine&#8217;s around the corner. They also make me look chivalrous, which is always a good thing.
Warning: some of her answers are a little sappy. [...]]]></description>

OREM, Utah — After four convenient but usually bad-habit forming years, I canceled my Blackberry email/data plan with T-Mobile last week. To my surprise, I was amazed that my email would actually wait for me on the computer, as opposed to following me around wherever I went. Now, if I’m away from my desk, my [...]]]></description>
