		<description><![CDATA[I often get teased by my friends because whenever someone needs something I often reply with, &#8220;I know a guy that does that&#8221;.  (To be politically correct &#8211; and accurate &#8211; &#8220;guy&#8221; should be &#8220;person&#8221;).

		<title>Developing Trust by Letting Go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An ex-cop friend of mine once told me an interesting story about his experience at a law-enforcement tactical driving school. During the training they learned techniques to avoid and recover from sliding and spinning situations.

		<description><![CDATA[So I am at the park the other day with my 5 year-old, trying to fly a kite.  It seemed like there was a nice strong breeze and getting the kite aloft would be a piece of cake.  Toss it up, set it, and forget it.

		<title>Tweetups – A Success Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I will be attending my third Tweetup put on by the good folks at Silicon Valley Tweetup. I’m now a bit bias (full disclosure here) as you’ll soon see, but I’ve got to give props to @Britopian and @GabrielCarrejo who have left nothing to be desired from the last two I’ve attended.

		<title>Organic Search is Social?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the début of this shiny new blog neared I thought a lot about what would make the most sense for an initial post. After all, it is a big decision and one that can absolutely never be undone. Everyone knows the saying; you never get a second chance to make a first blog post [...]]]></description>
