		<description><![CDATA[Hey, fellow brainstormers.  This particular event, held in Paris France starting May 23rd, really caught my attention.  In an effort to educate the average French consumer about the difficulties facing French farmers, the entire Champs Elysées was converted into a lush, green farm:

What really struck me was that this was a huge departure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At ThoughtOffice, we've made a real emphasis on helping users move from "idea hamsters" to producers.  Why?  Because in the real world, it's APPLIED CREATIVITY that moves us forward.  Now, this is not being critical of true artists. People who have the freedom to create with no end game in sight are great.  But in my world, we have to create something of value that people will exchange for some other value (money, for instance).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does ThoughtOffice Compare to MindMapping?  First, let me state I'm a big fan of visualization of ideas. Get me within 10 feet of a whiteboard and I can't help but grab a dry erase pen, pop the cap and start doodling.  I'll share where that came from someday. Suffice to say, when your big brother is on stage making a presentation and you just KNOW you can do better, you grab the pen and prove it...]]></description>
