Well, Outlook 2010 has this amazing feature called, Conversations.  This will transform your inbox to look/feel more like a threaded forum (or, more like your [...]]]></description>

Recently, SEP was awarded the #1 BEST place to work in Indiana! That is some exciting stuff.
Today, when I went to Google and searched for &#8220;beast place to work in Indiana&#8221;, these are [...]]]></description>

http://www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsitem.asp?ID=40993
The managers at this company care about their people, and this is just one more way they show it.  This company just keeps getting better each year!
Amazing!

Currently thinking:  Spring is here, softball starts this week, and my company just keeps getting better!

		<description><![CDATA[Jared Spool has reported that only about 10% of the user interface design questions raised by developers over the course of a typical project can be answered by reference to platform-based published guides.

Or does this mean that we can&#8217;t categorize UX/UI (User Experience / User Interface) design specific [...]]]></description>

Most of us here at SEP have already had the &#8220;culture shock&#8221; of a stand-up meeting.  In my experience it has been a very beneficial way to deliver information and get [...]]]></description>

However, I think that with the recent push of being agile and lean, the word &#8220;documentation&#8221; has a bad connotation that comes with it.  I never realized that people might have a different definition of the word &#8220;document&#8221; than [...]]]></description>
