Couldn't agree more on
"Take notes and distribute them after the meeting to all attendees. This makes sure everyone is on the same page and does not forget any conclusions. Often handy for any follow-up meetings."

This is absolutely important task especially in consulting where people usually are working on short-lived ad-hoc teams and are not familiar with the working styles of each other.

I need to start enforcing the food rule! As for OpenID, I thought I would take a break and try Disqus as that is what all the cool kids appear to be using these days.

This is brilliant! I agree with Omid about lunch. And I would add:
-- if you expect me to present information at a meeting, let me know more than 10 minutes before the meeting starts!

-if you are going to have a dial-in, please set that up before the meeting rather than making everyone watch you fight the conferencing system for 10 minutes.
-If the meeting is from 11-2 have food or I will leave

ps. NO OPENID OPTION FOR COMMENTING!!! ARE YOU KIDDING?!?

Re: Gmail Signature Plugin to display Recent Blog Entries

I'm quite surprised that Gmail would not support HTML-based signatures. I mean Outlook supports it and we all know Gmail is superior to Outlook. I'm sure they must have a reason for not including the functionality, unless they are working on it through Gmail labs.

Since I work with Kenan I have the same phone. While it's not an iPhone, it's pretty darn close. So far I made some tweaks to extend the wallpaper to all pages of the TouchFlo 3D interface and removed the annoying Sprint Music Store icon from the music player.

Good apps are:

TCPMP video player for watching movies
Fring for connecting to GTalk
and SlingBox Player for watching my DVR away from home (need to have a slingbox though).
