		<description><![CDATA[So, I was on the way back to the hotel from the Chicago office today and I got to talking with the cabbie, who was from Nigeria. We were discussing the finer points of life and digressed into talk of what languages he spoke. He spoke a little Spanish and a few words in French, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; So, I just scheduled my first free trip to Europe. Last year I went to Belgium for about $900 total between flight and hotel, but this year the flight is free (actually $180 in fees). I am going with two friends and they each paid about $800 &#8211; $900 for their tickets. I [...]]]></description>

A couple of years ago, when I first bought my house on Crosby, I was struggling to fix it up. I was painting, patching, sanding floors, etc and I was starting to get tired [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read an article by Benjamin Mako Hill called When Free Software Isn&#8217;t Better. This article addresses the fundamental argument of importance, between the Open Source engineering paradigms and political Software Freedom. For an outsider, this argument can be difficult to understand. The approximate argument is that Open Source considers community the most important [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Steve Horowitz says &#8220;No. This is just a myth.&#8221; Here&#8217;s his explanation. It grates me when one behaves as if he or she is clearing something up but he or she doesn&#8217;t make the distinctions required to indicate just what it is that needs to be cleared up in the first place. Statements like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Background So, there is some debate in developer circles about whether programming is an art, a science, or both. Recently, I have heard the word Code Craftsman and even Code Artist used by folks in the blogosphere. On the one hand, there is little argument that written code can be judged and appreciated on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the insurance industry, the idea that the protection insurance offers the consumer promotes a more reckless attitude on the part of said consumer is referred to as &#8220;moral hazard&#8221;. Apparently, since we have the material possessions in our homes insured against burglary, we are less likely to lock our doors for example. While I [...]]]></description>

Arizona&#8217;s new social travesty masquerading as a Law is akin to punching Lady Liberty in the bread box. I am ashamed to share a nationality with these people. No illegal immigrants are taking jobs from &#8220;us&#8221;. There is no &#8220;us&#8221; and &#8220;them&#8221;. [...]]]></description>

It basically looked as though a grenade had blown it to pieces.  There were about a hundred and fifty feathers spread all over, strangely, there was not much red in the picture. This led me to a few thoughts on [...]]]></description>
