			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So most employees will always be speaking highly of the company they work for, because they have to.  They are trained to be salespeople for their products and services – as they should, I’m sure. Of course, there are other employees who are a little more honest, the ones who aren’t directly involved in the product they’re selling.  Those employees usually can give a better description; usually the truth down and dirty.  I’m one of those employees.  Let me give you a little background.  We are a technology company, obviously you are able to tell that by looking around our site and reading what I blog about every day.  You’d think that everyone in here is a whiz on the computer though, and that’s where you’re wrong.  Sure, we do need to know a little bit more than basic knowledge, a step above what everyone else might know, but that’s about it.  Let me put it this way.  In our programming department, those guys know far more about the ins and outs of computing than I ever will in my lifetime.  In graphic design and in video editing, they can run circles around me when it comes down to it.  Props to them, and they are the best people to be able to sell something they’ve created.  Me?  I’m a writer.  I research, and I write.  I think, and I write.  And that’s it.  So, now that you’ve got our life stories in order…</p>
<p>Our CMS, verticalRain™. That’s what the topic is here. I can honestly say it is the easiest thing I’ve used on the net.  If you can insert information where it says insert information, you’re golden.  You’ve figured out the system.  I’m not just saying that because I work here, and I challenge you to see for yourself how easy this system is.  If you want to add photos, you literally drag the photo and drop it where you’d like it to go.  No worrying about link URLs, or having to know some programming to get it into the spot where you’d like it to go, nothing.  It’s so easy, I can’t really stress that enough.  Then there’s the organization ability. I’m sure everyone has their view of a writer, a scatter-brained, messy-haired, coffee-shop-inhabiting person who has a better relationship with their computer than they do with their significant other.  And you’re right.  So, you can imagine how unorganized we can be at times.</p>
<div id="attachment_543" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 267px"><a href="http://www.paragonmediaone.com/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/vRShot.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-543" title="vRShot" src="http://www.paragonmediaone.com/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/vRShot.png" alt="verticalRain" width="257" height="246" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">verticalRain™</p></div>
<p>This system has that covered too!  With the verticalRain™ contact manager, you can keep all of your contacts in one central location, and even email them from that location!  OK, I’m starting to sound like a salesperson here aren’t I?  So, I’ll quit.  I just want to put out there though how seriously easy this system is, and if you’re in the market for a new site, I really hope you’ll try it out for yourself.  If you can update your facebook page, you can create a website. Oh, and the best part?  If you give us a call, we’ll set you up with a demo.  So get on it. Couldn’t be easier if we had an easy button.</p>
<p>Go try it out! Let me know what you think! Talk to you soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright guys, your bosses are all going to hunt me down after this, but I decided it might be fun to research the top ten most addicting Internet games.  I’m doing it to find out what diminishes productivity during the day at a company, but you might find it interesting.  I haven’t been brave enough to play any of these games though, because I know once I like one of them I’ll get hooked myself!  So play with caution, and set yourself a time limit, because these games are highly addictive.</p>
<ol>
<li>Bejeweled      – A classic favorite, I’ll admit, I had it on an old cell phone and it      would keep me up late at night.</li>
<li>Chingham      – Can I be honest?  This game      looked so ridiculous, I didn’t even want to entertain the idea of playing,      and I honestly cannot believe it’s the number two most addicting      game.  I’m not even going to      explain what you have to do.</li>
<li>Bow      Man – Kill enemies with a bow by calculating the correct angle and      power.  It looks simple      enough.</li>
<li>Desktop      Tower Defense – Again I didn’t want to get into playing this game, but      there were actual warning signs saying that if you have something to do,      don’t play this game.</li>
<li>Neopets      Hasee Bounce – This game makes neopets (which I’ve not heard of prior to      my “research”) jump high up and eat doughnut fruits.  Hm.  As I continue to write about these “addicting games”      I’m wondering if the people playing are just insanely bored.</li>
<li>Line      Rider &#8211; OK, I’ll admit, I’ve played this before!  One of my students back when I taught a Sunday school      class had this on his Nintendo DS, and yes, I must say it was pretty cool      and addicting.</li>
<li>The      Last Stand – This game was compared to resident evil, and is about killing      zombies.  I think that about      sums it up.</li>
<li>Portal      – Well, I liked the comment on this game, which stated that it was a look      into the future of flash design! (Yes, I love technology and it’s      future!)  It was also stated      to be the “best looking flash game ever played”.  Might be worth it to check it out.</li>
<li>The      Helicopter Game – Requires you to drag your mouse throughout the virtual      sky dodging bricks.  A little      crazy of a scenario, but it looks like it could pass some serious time.</li>
<li>Yeti      Sports – And I quote the site “Anyone who has used the Internet in the      past three years has stumbled upon yeti sports”.  Hm, I haven’t!       It’s a flash game, got a lot of good reviews.</li>
</ol>
<p>Well, there you have it, the top ten most addicting Internet games. I was surprised to see none of the facebook applications were listed, yet again, that could very well be my next post! While these games did look like they had potential to be fun, I must say I’m not sure I’m going to get engrossed in any of them, but to each his own, and use with caution. And remember, if you ‘re interested in having a Paragon Media One exclusive interactive online game, <a href="http://www.paragonmediaone.com/solutions/3/interactive">click here!</a></p>
<p>Until next time!</p>
