		<title>Everything Will Be Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just press play, and enjoy this recent master piece by Tom Waits. This isn't just song writing, this is art direction. I love the sense of urgency and desperation in this song's sound. A crowded feeling of competition. An only option. Leaving everything behind; taking a chance. The sound paints the words. Awesome, stuff.]]></description>

		<title>Books in the Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeing .net Magazine's recent post on The Top 25 Books for Web Designers and Developers the other day, got me thinking about the goal I made in January to read one book per month this year and wondering if I'm still on pace. The last few months have been tricky for me to keep up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Are We Doing This?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across this Ted Talk from a few years back by Simon Sinek on how great leaders have inspired action. I found it to be an interesting look as to why certain people tend to out-achieve, and out-innovate others. Simon breaks down this process into what he calls the golden rule of: Why, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steve Jobs on Attention to Detail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Such a great quote by Steve Jobs that I think really speaks to his work ethic and attention to detail. Appropriate given his latest decision to step down at Apple. It's his commitment to this simple line of thinking that made Apple what it is today. When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January, I made a goal to read one book per month. I'm a bit behind on posting my book for the Month of April, but I swear I finished before the month was up. The book I selected was How to Think Like A Great Graphic Designer. This book is no "How-to", but rather [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not that I Needed Another Hobby...</title>
		<description><![CDATA[...but I've recently taken up relearning piano. I took lessons when I was in elementary school for three years, but gave it up when my friends informed me just how uncool piano was. That was roughly 20 years ago, and being the huge Elliott Smith, and Thom Yorke fan that I am, I have since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adaptive Web Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just pre-ordered the book Adaptive Web Design: Crafting Rich Experiences with Progressive Enhancement by Aaron Gustafson, due to publish later this month. The web is an ever-changing medium whose scope, application, audience and platform continue to grow on a daily basis. If you’ve worked on the web for any amount of time, you’ve likely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: Where Good Ideas Come From</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing my goal to read one book per month, my book for March was Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. The premise of the book is that in environments where good ideas are often generated, there are patterns that recur over and over again. The book takes a very scientific look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Milton Glaser on Creative Mornings Lecture Series</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been on a bit of a Milton Glaser kick lately. I find myself inspired by his humble insights on design and the creative process. I highly recommend reserving 40 minutes of your day to give his Creative Mornings Lecture, from a few months back, a watch. 2011/01 Milton Glaser from CreativeMornings on Vimeo.
