The days in TRAFFIC Las Vegas were packed with events &#8211; and of course after hours everyone had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;m battling a rather nasty case of flu, I can&#8217;t but think of the great time I had at TRAFFIC Las Vegas. The change of guard, from Rick Schwartz to Rick Latona, came with several challenges that in my opinion were handled efficiently and with utmost class.
For starters, Rick Latona&#8217;s energy and &#8220;go get [...]]]></description>

Inside the restaurant, the beautiful dancer occupied most of the central stage, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the past, I&#8217;ve been critical to the point of harshness with Sedo. The multi-national corporation that monetizes and auctions domains is definitely a major player in the domain industry; an industry still in early infancy.
With that in mind, when things go wrong I often go off on a &#8220;rant&#8221; to make it clear that [...]]]></description>

When I changed over from Internet Explorer to using Firefox, it was due to the world wide web peer pressure &#8211; hordes of tech geeks crying out how &#8220;evil&#8221; IE has been and how insecure.
The truth is, Firefox [...]]]></description>

Both victims and non-victims of the &#8220;Hank Alvarez&#8221; scam, which materialized while he was a VP of Engineering at Snapnames, seem to want a lot more beyond transparency from Oversee &#8211; [...]]]></description>

In other words, was &#8220;halvarez&#8221; the only Snapnames account used to jack up prices in auctions &#8211; and did Nelson [...]]]></description>
