		<description><![CDATA[- Dave Imperiale
This has nothing to do with politics. That would be in poor form. This has to do with non-words, and more specifically, Obama’s “umming.” There is nothing that makes someone sound consistently less confident than umming.
You will notice this almost never happens during his prepared speeches or comments. Not surprising &#8212; he’s prepared, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Dave Imperiale
Voicemails should not be longer than 30 seconds. Whether it’s personal or professional, unless someone specifically asks you to leave instructions, you should really try not to have a conversation with yourself on someone else’s voicemail.
People often ignore my directive voicemail of “leave me a quick message.” Saying “keep your message to under [...]]]></description>

Virgin America is Awesome&#8230;.
…if you’re a teenage girl from Eastern Europe and you’ve never been on an airplane before.
When I step foot onto a plane all I ask for are general feelings of safety and comfort. While other airlines aren’t always successful in providing those sentiments, I also don’t feel like I’ve been [...]]]></description>

It’s been three months since I joined the Facebook and I’m now mostly just annoyed with it. Every morning when I get up I do two things: I check the temperature/forecast on New York 1 and I check the Yankee score/standings (in season). Now I have to click on one more bookmarked page [...]]]></description>

I’ve recently returned from working on what felt like my hundredth sales conference. Here’s something for you people to start accepting: PowerPoint is almost universally misused, and thus, stupid.
I would say people use PowerPoint properly 14 percent of the time. That is based on a first-party, subjective study. Most of the time presenters [...]]]></description>

I felt legitimate fear when I clicked the button to upload my profile on Facebook about a month ago. That fear was immediately warranted when my first friend sent me my first note saying: “You probably don’t want to put your cell phone number on your profile.”
Since then my foray into the world [...]]]></description>

Text messaging is destroying the English language. I question the manhood of my post 30 year-old friends when I get a text that says: “C u L8r!” I am reminded of the irritation of my 1980s parents when my friends and I overused the word “like” instead of pausing silently between words. Grown [...]]]></description>

I am 31 years-old and I have been a proud, self-promoting Luddite for almost 15 years. In college, shortly after the internet and email were introduced and becoming main stream, I wished for a world of typewriters, stamps and the sound of the rotary phone.
I actively fight technology when I can. I still carry the [...]]]></description>
