		<title>Vacation in Italy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230;I went to Italy. It was the best time ever.
St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica blew my mind. I am still in awe. Next was the Statue of David. You can&#8217;t get your head around how amazing a statue can be until you see it in person.
But my favorite thing was Venice. Yes, Venice. There is no place [...]]]></description>

		<title>Books: 4 Hour Work Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The 4 Hour Work Week was an interesting read. The author, Tim Ferriss, proclaims to run his business in just 4 hours a week, take multiple mini retirements and to have completely automated his income.
 
I like his writing style. It is somewhat in your face. At the same time I think I wouldn&#39;t like Tim in person. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business of Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


I just finished reading 
The Business of Happiness 
by Ted Leonsis. I recommend it! Check out the website to get some background on the author and book.
 
To summarize, Ted grew up in Brooklyn the son of immigrant parents. Through hard work and fortunate timing he was very successful at a young age. But he wasn&#39;t happy.  A near [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m done with Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


This was a response I posted to a thread on Google Buzz about why I closed my Facebook account:


When it comes down to it, I got all of the value I was ever going to get out of Facebook. I connected with people I hadn&#39;t seen in 20 years. Beyond that initial rush, Facebook has [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 Books update &amp; thoughts on VMware</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
52 books in 52 weeks may be a bit tougher than expected. I read a lot of non-fiction and technical books which tend to be longer and more dense. Novels are a luxury.

That&#39;s OK. I&#39;m just acknowledging that fact and will continue to post reviews as I finish books. So&#8230;onward.
I went to Big Bear last week [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 52 books January recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four weeks in and I&#8217;m at 2.5 books for my goal of 52 books in 2010.
My pace has slowed because the current book I&#8217;m reading, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, is so good I am rereading each chapter. I am also attempting to apply some of the lessons to my business which is basically amounting to [...]]]></description>

		<title>52 books for 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Inspired by this blog post about How to read a book a week in 2010 I&#8217;ve decided to take the challenge. I&#8217;ll track my progress in this blog post.

Duct Tape Marketing
Review:
Great book on building a marketing plan. Just like it says, very practical and effective. Marketing always has a certain pop psychology aspect. This book delves [...]]]></description>

		<title>Picasa for photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google&#39;s photo application Picasa is blowing my mind.

I dumped years of photos into Picasa and it began scanning the pictures to find faces. This capability is not new, but I was surprised at how well the application works. It accurately identified people in my photo albums even if the photos were years, or even decades [...]]]></description>
