I have had a post about polling in the hopper for a long time but opted not to post it because, frankly, the election has me so “anti” poll that I want to puke.

Quick Hits – The Evernote Blog

I love Evernote. I think that it is one of the most useful tools for meeting and event planners since the dawn of the laptop computer.
