		<title>2009 Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My one sentence movie reviews for 2009 seems to have struck a chord, so let&#8217;s see if I get a response from someone (Dan Brown?) for my books of 2009.

The Pump House Gang &#8211; I generally like Tom Wolfe; a few of these essays were excellent, like the La Jolla surfers and Hugh Hefner, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>2009 Movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by my friend Jake&#8217;s post on the same topic, I&#8217;ve decided to run down my year in movies.

In Bruge &#8211; Very good, darker than I expected. Made me wish I visited Belgium during my Europe trips.
Dexter: Season 1 &#8211; My favorite series of the year.
La Dolce Vita &#8211; I came away not liking this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mt. San Jacinto Hike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went backpacking again after a two year lull.  Twins will do that to you.  Over the years I&#8217;ve turned into one of those crazy ultra-light people, looking for any way to trim the pounds and ounces.  I&#8217;m trying to keep better track of what I bring, what was useful, and what I need to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cash for Clunkers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is the program almost out of money?
I briefly considered participating in this, but I&#8217;m too cheap to spend more than $10k on a new car. Seeing news on how popular this program is got me thinking about unintended consequences, though.  Conventional wisdom says that the most economical car is the one sitting in your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bookmooch Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I published some thoughts on the future of Bookmooch and some graphs that seemed to support my experiences using the site. Almost another year has passed and I thought I would update the chart again.  I don&#8217;t have much time these days to analyze in more detail, so I&#8217;ll only give a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helping People Win at Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I attended a local PMI chapter meeting. The speaker for the evening was Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40 Company, giving a talk on &#8220;Helping People Win at Work&#8221; and how he&#8217;s shaped the culture at WD-40 and inspired people to perform their very best. Garry was one of the best speakers I&#8217;ve heard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apollo Trivia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been completely sucked in to the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which you can follow along in real-time here.  I have to keep reminding myself that there aren&#8217;t three astronauts halfway to the moon right now.
I&#8217;ve been reading annotated mission transcripts yesterday and today, and in honor of the mission I thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Work Teams Concepts and Skills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In July 2005, I took an excellent class at UCSD called Work Teams Concepts and Skills.  It was one of my required classes for my project management certification.  I wasn&#8217;t expecting much out of it, but was surprised to find it very informative and applicable to many aspects of life.
In preparation for a move in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something About Myself That I Don&#8217;t Understand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1996, I took a flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong.  I had a window seat on a United 747.  For the bums in coach (including me), the seat configuration was 3-4-3.  There was someone in the aisle seat but no one between us.
The flight time was probably a bit longer than 14 hours.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Million Dollar Ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In no particular order, here is a list of money making schemes I&#8217;ve had at various points in my life.  Feel free to steal any of these; I haven&#8217;t had much success with any of them yet.

Turn my personal book collection into a lending library for friends and family.  Charge them a nickel for each [...]]]></description>
