		<description><![CDATA[Air-conditioning, wherefore art thou? Ours is a big grey lump sitting stoically on the side of the house, silently waiting to spread it’s goodness throughout our interior. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[Job hunting is almost a full time job, but the tasks are tedious and frankly boring. 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>

However, I&#8217;ve noticed a trend amongst clients. &#8220;Make me a web site, have all of the content magically show up and have it do exactly what I want all with very little input or work from me.&#8221; This client ideology is both [...]]]></description>

Our development team, QA, Support, Deployment etc&#8230; that is only 35 strong here in Colorado was about to become &#8220;Project Managers&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I was interested in the 911 conspiracy information until a friend of mine made a very astute observation. While theory and discussion is interesting and makes for good political fodder, it requires a lot of scrutiny to validate and not take at face value.

I&#8217;ll admit, since September 11th, 2001, I&#8217;ve accepted without question most of what I saw, was and have been under the opinion that terrorists flew planes into various locations killing innocent people and performing acts [...]]]></description>

You hit what sounds like the site you&#8217;re looking for, only once you hit the link and the site pops up in your web browser, it looks like something from 1993.
