		<title>Doing it right.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s just kicked ass. It&#8217;s been great, seriously.
I&#8217;ve been working on chapters for Definitive Drupal 7 about project planning and managing a major project. It&#8217;s supposed to come out this fall, we hope!, and this one&#8217;s been on my plate for awhile. I&#8217;m about half-way through the &#8220;Planning a Project&#8221; chapter, and I&#8217;m noticing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kindof like surfing..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Project management is sometimes like surfing: A whole bunch of waves come in and smash you and you kindof ride it out. Wait for next set of waves. Repeat.
Cute, neh?

		<title>Today&#8217;s Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disasterpiece theatre:
When your life acquires an off-stage director. (Insert wild hair and villainous appearance here.)  The normal supporting cast begins to move in ways that are at first merely perplexing, then fascinating. This does not necessarily involve ominous music, men in top hats and British accents. It all works out in the end.
And by [...]]]></description>

		<title>DCPDX ftw.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DrupalCamp Portland kicked off last Friday night at NedSpace Old Town with a great turnout, and we had a great weekend of discussions about web development with Drupal.

		<title>In retrospect, this may have been a &#8216;Mistake We Wanted to Make&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One year ago this week, I took a leap and started working professionally in web development. One year ago this week, I became a Drupal project manager. (And lord, did I have no idea of what I was getting into.)
In retrospect, this is one of the best choices I think I&#8217;ve made. It has also [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dropping by.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few months have been intense.
  A quick update on the past conference schedule:
  Transparency Camp West at Google was fascinating. Mostly because of the interactions that happen around the idea of government transparency. It really is like the wild west, but lots of smart people are willing to get in and [...]]]></description>

		<title>What do I most want to do this morning?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(The Not To Do List.)
Wait for the pain of waking up to subside. (Is it painful to be awake? Yes. Roll over, try again later.) Shower. Go to Peet&#8217;s and get a cup of coffee. Walk to Lloyd Center and spend 15 minutes hunting for where my sister deposited her car. Move car back to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignite Portland 6: Us coming to you. On stage. With microphones and slides.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My alter-ego Reid Beels and I decided it would be funny to put in for Ignite Portland 6. I&#8217;ve been here in the Portland tech community since October 2008 (I KNOW! It&#8217;s really a short time!), and that&#8217;s included involvement in 2 separate Ignites. Ignite 4 and 5 were as a volunteer helping to make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Open Source Bridge 1.0 opens tomorrow, I&#8217;m watching the tweets come in from the airport about the people that are arriving, and I have to admit, I&#8217;m kindof in shock.
It&#8217;s finally here. 
I&#8217;ll be chilling as the sponsor contact of the team around, so if you see me around the Oregon Convention Center in sessions, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wandering off about..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Theming:
Wordpress: 8 lines of code to tweak things, the hardest part of which is finding the Benjamin Moore site and using ColorPic because I am lazy and do not want to guess what &#8216;Yellow Rain Coat&#8217; and &#8216;Autumn Purple&#8217; are in RGB values. So sue me. Upload, refresh. Perfect.
Drupal: Install theme. Discover that it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
