		<description><![CDATA[What goes on in projects makes one wonder whether projects are destined to auto-destruct. Miracles and alchemy may be the only reason that projects still conclude despite all the help from stakeholders. I have concluded more than once that whatever you do is either lessons learned or best practices. I have noticed that project conclusions are independent of project status. Go Live plans are necessary but only Go Home plans are sufficient. Read about these and a few more of my observations on projects. I find them interesting, I hope you would too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has Facebook shared user information without authorization? If they “notified” users in an obscure manner does that count? This is like Arthur Dent finding the demolition notice “displayed" inside a locked file cabinet in the dark basement of the local planning office. Not only do such notices not count, they indicate mischievous intent. But on the other hand when we post pictures of friends in, say, Facebook, do we get approvals from those friends? Should we not at least ask them before “tagging” them in the photos that we post? Are Facebook and us equal partners in crime? So do I really have the right to crib when Facebook gets strays into the twilight zone?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was initiated to the internet some time in 1996. I took to it as a duck to the water. I figured out the freebies real quick. It was a matter of time that the novelty wore off. I started concentrating on using the web in ways that resulted in better satisfaction for the time and efforts spent. Tracking down lost contacts was a favorite pastime and has remained so till date. It makes me feel like a distant disciple of Sherlock Holmes.]]></description>
