Hi Charina,

Great article. I learned this secret from my Grandfather when I was young and further practiced it in my year abroad in China. Now, I do this all the time at my startup, energy-efficiency software company.

I also know that it's been encouraged at some of the larger, well-known software companies as well. This probably won't be allowed in the manufacturing or labor type industries, but for software, and "knowledge" industries I think this will become a regular part of the work day.

Wow! I wish I had found this earlier as it is both up my alley and right down the street from my office. I'll be there, I'd love to meet some other webpreneurs and developers. We're looking to hire on a FT web developer in a few weeks for our environmental networking site, carboncontest.com.

This looks like it will be a great event.
