		<title>Taking a Weekend Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I joke that Saturday and Sunday are just &#8216;days that start with S&#8217;. Tris probably feels the same way, although he said a lot more in &#8220;Writer&#8217;s Frustration: Taking a Weekend Off&#8221;. That feeling like you just can&#8217;t take a weekend off, or you&#8217;ll be so behind in either cashflow or workflow that you might [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Sanity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is in response to a post on &#8220;The Entrepreneur&#8217;s Quest for Balance&#8221; by @laurenbacon, who I had the chance to meet at WordCamp Vancouver earlier this month. I saw the &#8216;Quest for Balance&#8217; and thought &#8216;self care&#8217; is the wrong word for this. &#8216;Keeping your sense of humor&#8217; is exactly the right word. (For [...]]]></description>

		<title>Change is in the air. And the web.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the general craziness of the last few weeks, I forgot something. Something really big. Something possibly life changing. Or at least blog changing. I&#8217;ve decided that this freelancing thing is silly. That there are bigger fish to catch, higher mountains, the works. What&#8217;s not silly is starting a company. Which I did. It&#8217;s called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surviving as a freelancer, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in a many part series of how I keep my life together as a freelance project manager. I&#8217;ll go over all of the tools that I live and die by, because it&#8217;s the question I get asked most often. What tool is going to be my magical robot pony and fix [...]]]></description>

		<title>State of Drupal Project Management, DCSF edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a difference a year makes. A year ago, we had people interested in project management, but not a whole lot of people actually doing it in Drupal. This morning, we had the Project Manager Birds of a Feather session in a room that ended up being standing room only. Sure, there were a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 Ways to Win at DrupalCon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Next week&#8217;s my third DrupalCon, and I&#8217;m speaking in two different time slots. If you&#8217;re coming to San Francisco, say hi! (either here or there is fine.) But here&#8217;s my tips for surviving the twice-yearly Drupal gathering. 1) Write on your badge. If you&#8217;re doing new cool things, put it on there! If you&#8217;re hiring, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Networking 101</title>

You&#8217;re about to embark on a journey of figuring out exactly how many people you actually know. If you&#8217;re on Twitter, think about how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking SMART Goals to an actual plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, when you want to get something done, and you know that you want to get something done, it&#8217;s a really good idea to define what that &#8216;something&#8217; is. Most of the really successful people I know use SMART goals. (I&#8217;m getting better at SMART goals myself.) A SMART goal is: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant [...]]]></description>

		<title>PDXBoom and Online Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last night around 8:05pm, there was apparently a large boom in SE Portland. And we all got on our computers and started talking to each other. As no one knew what it was, folks immediately set up a collaborative google map, with periodic screenshots to track the spread of information. We had some issues [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspiration in other places</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve found myself picking up design books recently and falling in love with the process of how good design happens.  It&#8217;s also making me think about better design and user experience for the web. Nice to come out of your cave once in a while. Current favorites: Kelly Wearstler, Modern Glamour: The Art of Unexpected [...]]]></description>
