		<title>Blog post experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I did it.  I took a vacation from blogging just to see how it would effect my life. Several things occurred:

I felt guilty because I wasn&#8217;t blogging regularly, as if it were some sort of obligation.
I didn&#8217;t have a million emails asking me why I stopped.
I have a delightful pile of topics now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shoes, beautiful shoes. Alas, too tight! We&#8217;ll fix that!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you just got new shoes.  You couldn&#8217;t resist. &#8220;I&#8217;ll just wear them till they stretch to fit.&#8221; you say. &#8221; Sure &#8211; by then my feet will be totally blistered!&#8221;  What to do??? Here&#8217;s the answer: freeze them!

Somewhere on YouTube there is an answer to all of life&#8217;s problems&#8230;

		<title>Usability: Don&#8217;t Leave Home Without It!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, dear reader, I just couldn&#8217;t resist the pun. Actually, though, even Home pages need to be examined for usability and that&#8217;s exactly what happens in the eye-opening book by Jacob Neilsen &#038; Marie Tahir called &#8220;Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed.&#8221;  This book reminds me of the many happy hours I&#8217;ve spent in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Speakers on twitter!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you ever wonder how many public speakers are on twitter?  I did, so I found a site that would give me some info. It&#8217;s called wefollow.com and you can get listed there in your choice of categories. I was frankly impressed that anyone billing themselves as a speaker has 221,152 followers.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>April Fools Prank? Not!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UCSD really messed up and it was probably human error multiplied by a computer.  Seems that the university is now reviewing what happened when they sent emails out to students saying &#8220;Welcome&#8221; when actually they were not accepted for admission.  Here&#8217;s the link for the full story. 
All this got me to wondering [...]]]></description>

		<title>twitter is driving me crazy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Should I spend any more time on twitter? I&#8217;ve experienced some great results following links supplied by people I trust.  But I am selective about which people I follow. I don&#8217;t auto-follow back. And I don&#8217;t spend excessive time on twitter.  I use it in snippets, tiny bits of time when I want [...]]]></description>

		<title>MIT&#8217;s Sixth Sense Reality Enhancer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m at a cocktail party and can&#8217;t for the life of me remember the dude&#8217;s name and what I learned about him at the last networking event I attended for unemployed geeks.  Enter the latest cool device from MIT students which can make me seem a bunch smarter than my normal IQ or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nature Markets Herself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beauty always catches the eye! We do that with marketing, too, at least we should most of the time.  Like the old saying goes, &#8220;A picture is worth a thousand words,&#8221; so how could we ever replace the beauty of snow with mere words.
Last night&#8217;s snow blanketed the ground with pristine powder that dusted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lunch 2.0 &#8211; Meet the geek of your dreams!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with my personal motto (&#8220;Be the dumbest person in the room&#8221;)  I often visit events filled with geeks, and, believe me, the Lunch 2.0 qualifies. Yesterday I particularly enjoyed staying in contact with Dawn Foster and Amber Case.  These two women are responsible for keeping me sane in a world of [...]]]></description>
