		<description><![CDATA[My girlfriend saw the latest book that I’m reading, titled “Real Leaders Don’t Do Powerpoint!” and wondered why that was the case. She’s used to using Powerpoint as a teaching tool, where the slides replace the sketches and point form lists that teachers used to write on the blackboard. I told that, unfortunately, the way [...]]]></description>

I’m not advocating an elitist rule-by-experts world, but Twitter to me demonstrates how ludicrous things can get when you have lots of people with just a little bit of knowledge [...]]]></description>

Emergencies depend on the rapid exchange of information between those who are on-scene and those who can support them, between those who have information to protect others and the public who needs that information to keep safe and help themselves.

		<description><![CDATA[Politicians and bureaucrats (including those in private industry) have latched on to the use of the word “ask” as a noun.  This perfectly good verb is being mauled every day into a noun where “a request” should be used.  Now, another English word is in peril, thanks to the politicians, their spinmasters, and speechwriters.
