		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Found myself commenting on a Facebook post asking for what career advice people would give to college grads looking at careers in web development.  I took a quick stab at it, and was surprised enough at how well it came out I thought I&#8217;d post it here: If you have the opportunity to work in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Ender&#8217;s Game&#8221; is a Hugo-award winning sci-fi novel by Orson Scott Card.  And deservedly so &#8211; I loved it, and enjoyed all five of the follow-on novels he wrote in the Ender universe. But Card is also a well-documented opponent of homosexuality and gay marriage &#8211; a moral stance that I find abhorrent and hypocritical.  And he&#8217;s getting worse as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Past-her-prime celebrity dies after years of self-destructive behavior. Shocking.  Any chance we can skip the hollow eulogies about talent and brilliance, take as given the in-fighting over whatever estate is left, and move on to something more interesting?  Not hardly. Apparently dealing with fame is harder than finding it. Getting it right: Angelina Jolie, Johnny [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been over a decade since I&#8217;ve had a bike stolen. I&#8217;ve developed a few habits that have helped prevent this; I don&#8217;t leave my bike in high-risk areas and I don&#8217;t lock my bike up in the same spot all the time, for example.  But by far the best one is that I avoid [...]]]></description>
