		<title>Welcome NYTimes Readers!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, feels good to be in the Times again, even if it&#8217;s for a project that I no longer have a financial stake in.
If you&#8217;ve come this far, please check out what&#8217;s cooking now with my NetworthIQ co-founder and resident genius Ryan Williams.  It&#8217;s called WalletBug and I&#8217;d invite you to sign up for [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Neglected Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looking at the calendar again and wondering how time has gotten away from me once more.  Ah, the poor blog has fallen victim to a newfound interest in Twitter again, as well as sweet dreams of a cool, funky tea shoppe someplace in the Portland metro area to fill a niche that I think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coversourcing: Down to the wire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I went and did it.  I entered the contest to design the cover for Jeff Howe&#8217;s new book, Crowdsourcing.  There are a number of fantastic entries, my favorites being AceJet170&#8217;s, Vitorious&#8217;, and skforlee&#8217;s.  I just didn&#8217;t see any that really tied into the sub-title of the book: &#8220;How the power of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weirded Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took some time this evening to catch up on my newsfeed reading, and was entertained and amused by (Shane&#8217;s) Own Drummer post.  He was, in turn, inspired by WAH(web)Mommy&#8217;s How Weird Are You?
Thanks to the current chaos in my day job, an overabundance of caffeine in my system and a lack of real [...]]]></description>

		<title>U.S. High Speed Rail is Overdue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reading about the healthy and growing European rail system the other day made me get a bit misty-eyed and sentimental.  I have many fond memories of the convenience of rail travel throughout Europe from my days living in Vienna, Austria.  Since then, the Channel Tunnel has opened Paris to London travel, even bringing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honored (by) Linkage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, it&#8217;s been a couple of (insane) weeks since the last post &#8230; not that I don&#8217;t have a dozen posts queued up and (almost) ready to go &#8230;
Anyway, I was humbled today by finding out through the very clever David Armano that I made Grant McCracken&#8217;s blogroll list.
I&#8217;ve replied to some posts from both [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Own Martian Child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make.  My son, Caleb, is from Mars.  Or maybe Pluto.  He doesn&#8217;t have antennae or a glowing finger, nor does he live in an egg-shaped bed.  He does, however, live in a world all his own and only occasionally in this one.  It&#8217;s those rare [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detroit&#8217;s Design Decline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago I got on my soapbox and made some suggestions about how Detroit needs to turn itself inside out and start anew.
Recently, though, I was reviewing concept designs and auto show prototypes from some of the big three U.S. auto makers (Chrysler, Ford and GM) and I&#8217;m feeling even more inclined to [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Fired Up in Portland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night&#8217;s inaugural Ignite Portland rocked!  18 speakers, each with 20 slides and 5 minutes to present before the collective buzzer went off.  The topics ranged from knitting to rewilding, giving good TXT to free beef and clean bathrooms.  Unicycling, chickens, and how to be Japanese. Kudos to everyone who helped organize [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Novel New York Compass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Streetsblog.org posted some information last week about the new sidewalk compasses that New York will be using at select major intersections and metro stations throughout the city.
Despite posing some potential pedestrian traffic flow issues, I think this is one of the more creative and useful ideas for navigating a town that I&#8217;ve seen in a [...]]]></description>
