		<title>Animals: A Venn Diagram</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to draw this Venn diagram to represent my classification of animals for quite a while. This is the kind of stuff I can accomplish with vacation time at home. Just think of the possibilities&#8230; Notes Goat really is delicious. Try it. So is rabbit. No, I didn&#8217;t do this just to piss [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open is the new Enterprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t often write about the specifics of my work at Blackboard, but a recent challenge at work illustrates some fundamental issues with technology and technology marketing that I would like to explore here. Nothing I say goes beyond anything that you can read about on the Blackboard website. I run the main software marketing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tear Down The Wall (well, not all of it)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first visited Berlin in 2006 and found it to be a wonderful city, one whose history was still clearly punctuated by segments of the wall now protected from souvenir hunters by fences. I am sure that I was not the first to contemplate the irony of protecting the wall with fences, but I can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Don&#8217;t Send Postcards, Or Writing About Reading While Reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I travel a lot, but I rarely send postcards, probably because they make me stop and assess my trip before it is over. How can I be sure that everything is beautiful and I wish you were here? Tomorrow might suck. I would rather wait until I get home and let you know how the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Be Your Gibes Now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am now almost a third of the way through Infinite Jest, so I will be careful about spoilers for anyone who is following the prescribed schedule of Infinite Summer. I may allude to things you have not yet read, or even quote lines, but I won&#8217;t give any actual spoilers without warning. As I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Fictional Dialog Conceived While Reading Interviews With DFW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interviewer: You are an American author, so why do you choose to write in French? Author: I don&#8217;t. All my works are in English. Interviewer: I have read your works and they are in French. They have not even been translated into English. Author: I am the author, who are you going to trust, me [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Year Of The Neatly Packaged Vomit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I am just past the third week&#8217;s milestone in my first reading of Infinite Jest and I have Pynchon on my mind. If you haven&#8217;t read that far, don&#8217;t worry. I won&#8217;t put any spoilers here. This post is more about my reading method than anything in the text. I got through my first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who&#8217;s Afraid of a Big Bad Book?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Afraid of a big book, not I&#8230; I&#8217;ve read Ulysses three times. I&#8217;ve read Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow twice. I read Underworld and Mason &#038; Dixon in the same year. Hell, I read Portrait of a Lady, The Golden Bowl, and The Ambassadors in a single summer. Admittedly, I was studying for my comps and it sucked. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Extending Lookout Mountain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love riding on Lookout Mountain. It is close to Denver; it is full of other cyclists, and the scenery is great. I have been looking to extend my climbing rides with more hills though and this route adds two more climbs, for a total of five, to my Lookout Mountain-Cabrini Shrine loop. All the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lookout Mountain-Cabrini Shrine Loop Ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Climbing Lookout Mountain is a rite of passage for Denver-area cyclists. It is easy to get to, a fairly small climb by Colorado standards, and has scenic views of Denver and Golden on the way up. I rode up it for the first time this year, after returning to road cycling and now I ride [...]]]></description>
