		<description><![CDATA[Facebook, love to hate it, enjoy it&#8217;s benefits, be annoyed by it&#8217;s faults, but mostly realize, it&#8217;s the people damit, not the software. &#62; Remember, privacy settings are limited and will not always work in your favor, so remember when posting, everything is public. EVERYTHING! &#62; Knowing what you had for breakfast, lunch or dinner [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National Novel Writers Month &#8211; aka: NaNoWriMo, is in November. Anyone who&#8217;s ever wanted to write a novel can participate. The core requirements are to start from scratch, write as fast as you can and finish 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Sounds easy huh? We&#8217;ll see.

However, the truth is, having the house cooled down is NOT the real reason it should be on. Colorado summers aren’t that bad, A/C is for wimps. Noise [...]]]></description>

I mean, if you were asked by your current employer to search through a myriad of job sites, poke through every company web site you’d like to work with looking for that perfect job description hoping that they magically [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve killed our TV! That&#8217;s right, we no longer have a TV entertainment system like we did last week. No, I didn&#8217;t smash, destroy or [...]]]></description>

During the week, I like to catch up on news, read about new technology and get ready for the day. Right now, that ritual includes my iPhone, but&#8230; the screen is too small.
