		<description><![CDATA[The event was brilliant. I loved it. Everyone says they got a lot out of it. The after party drinks were definitely needed, and tasted so much better for being on Microsoft&#8217;s tab.

		<description><![CDATA[The new year typically spawns lots of &#8220;Best of &#8230;&#8221; and &#8220;What happened in &#8230;&#8221; articles and blog posts. It&#8217;s a time of year to reflect on the past 12 months. It&#8217;s time to look at the highlights, sometimes the lowlights, and hopefully lock a few of those nuggets away for future use.
