		<description><![CDATA[An interesting confluence of events led me to this concept.  First, I&#8217;ve been reinvigorated with the spirit of the Romans by listening to Dan Carlin&#8217;s Hardcore History. Second, I had a rare opportunity to have a conversation with a young creator, and when I say young, I mean a kid writing and drawing a deep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often, it feels society as a whole see introversion as a problem that needs to be fixed. Being around people should invigorate not enervate. Sadly, for introverts such as myself, being with people is a drain. Careful in how you read that, because too often it gets interpreted as if people are vampires sucking energy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are a fan of Android apps, you are probably already aware of this wonderful, amazing tool. I know several luminaries of the web have already spoken about this app and I hate to jump on the bandwagon but I fell in love with this tool. It wasn&#8217;t love at first sight, though, since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a soft spot for apps that help capture my creative impulses. I usually rely upon note taking apps or voice recording apps to capture my insights through the day, but sometimes I will run up against an abstract issue that needs to be puzzled out. Thinking Space is an application that allows the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pessimists are people too and deserve the same respect as everyone else. Okay, that isn&#8217;t as great a rallying cry as I thought it would be.  In life, there are people who will be pessimistic and people who will be optimistic.  You and I will end up working with some of these people.  Optimists, while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A week ago, several friends of mine and I got together to make short movies.  We really didn&#8217;t expect to get much done because when we get together we don&#8217;t tend to be very focused.  Yet, we all really wanted to get some things accomplished. We had only one complete script and two &#8216;improv&#8217; type [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a tale of two days. The first day I felt overwhelmed, I was incredibly testy, and in general unable to do my job effectively.  I so felt at wits end that I almost quit, walking out on the job.  For anyone who knows me that is not me.  I may complain a lot, [...]]]></description>
