		<title>Break Your Own Promises</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few weeks ago&#8211;September 5 to be exact&#8211;I ordered myself a shiny new car.
The experience went along these lines. First, I did lots of research and decided on my ideal vehicle make and model. Then, I went to the only dealership in my city that sells this type of car.
I met one of the salespeople, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nine Ways to Have a Better Lunchbreak</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Do you stay seated at your desk for just about every lunchbreak? Is the line between work time and break time increasingly blurred? We&#8217;re all guilty of doing that from time to time. It&#8217;s a nasty habit though, and not good for you or your productivity. Here are nine ways to have a better lunchbreak.

		<title>The Best Business Insurance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s no coincidence that many of the popular goals on 43 things are related to health and fitness. Stereotypical as it may seem, office-bound workers are normally not as physically active as those in other occupations, and probably not the healthiest eaters during the business day, either.
This situation is even further compounded if you are [...]]]></description>

Yes, it&#8217;s back on again! After the success of previous BarCampPerth events, in 2007 and 2008, BarCampPerth3 will be held on July 18, 2009 at eCentral TAFE.
If you&#8217;ve read my last post, Why you should attend two conferences a year, you&#8217;ll appreciate why these events are a fantastic opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.

		<title>Why You Should Attend Two Conferences a Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So why attend a conference? Let&#8217;s start with education. You&#8217;ll learn more from attending one conference than all the books and blog posts you can read in one month. This may sound like a tall order, but seriously, if you are actively listening to the presenter, it&#8217;s hard not to learn more than by simply [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australian Web Awards now open!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s out of the bag; the Australian Web Awards are now open for entries, and have now been announced to the world.
What started as a humble black tie cocktail event in Perth four years ago has grown from 2005 to be a large glitzy event in Perth, and now, after many requests, we&#8217;re taking it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learn to Say Sorry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Earlier this year, I organized a loan for my new house with my usual bank. All went well, they approved it quickly and before long, I had removalists at my door.
Then the trouble began &#8230; payments not deducted, double payments deducted from the wrong accounts, inept bank employees who tried to argue with me, more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: Online Marketing Inside Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The great thing about writing your own book, is when it comes to reading other books, you have a new found appreciation to what effort has gone in to create what you&#8217;re holding.
There&#8217;s certainly some effort put in on SitePoint&#8217;s latest title, Online Marketing Inside Out. Two authors, Brandon Eley and Shayne Tilley collaborated on [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s true that I&#8217;m passionate about Port80 events; I&#8217;ve seen so many great things come out of Port80 Perth, I really want to see them established in other Australian capital cities.
Well, the Australian Web Industry Association are hitting the road again - this time, we&#8217;re bringing Port80 to Sydney and Melbourne, with aspirations that these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Product Review: Sumo Lounge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The original bean bag was created in Italy, back in 1968. An icon throughout the 1970&#8217;s, the bean bag is back, and even more comfortable with the arrival of successful bean bag brand, Sumo Lounge, into the Australian market.
I got my hands on an Omni Chair a few weeks ago, and I&#8217;m hooked. The size [...]]]></description>
