		<description><![CDATA[It really sucks to learn that people you like have been talking shit about you behind your back. There&#8217;s the feeling of betrayal, and that sucks, but what&#8217;s way worse, at least to me, is the worry that there&#8217;s people still out there, still talking shit, that you&#8217;ve got no idea about. It&#8217;s not so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, to preface this, yes, I am a proud member of Liberal Party of Canada, and I had the pleasure and honour of attending this weekend&#8217;s biennial convention. If those two facts cause you to discount everything else I&#8217;ve got to say, then it&#8217;s your loss because what I have to say in this post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[- Write here more often. I used to refrain from posting anything outside the 500-750 word range, but between Facebook and Twitter, I don&#8217;t frame my thoughts on that scale with the frequency I used to. That&#8217;s not a criticism or a complaint, it just is. Expect smaller, more frequent posting in the new year. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was asked to expand on my thoughts regarding the protests, so here we go: I think they&#8217;re undermining their movement by hewing too closely to stereotypes people have about protesters being nothing but a bunch of hippies (drum circles, 9/11 conspiracy theories, etc.) and by hewing too closely to the Occupy Wall Street narrative [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Source) Ottawa&#8217;s population is just under 900,000 which is to say that after a little bit of quick arithmetic, today&#8217;s Occupy Ottawa protests might have briefly flirted with attracting 0.05% of the city&#8217;s population. To say that these guys speak for 99% of us might be a bit of a stretch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rest In Peace, Steve. This is a story about what happens when you don&#8217;t follow your dreams. I&#8217;ve been web-savvy as long as there&#8217;s been a web. Okay, since Toy Story came out. Thank Steve for that too given his role at Pixar. The first web site I ever visited was www.toystory.com, after a botched [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but based on his performance last night, Dalton McGuinty is the first politician I&#8217;ve seen in a long time who seems more excited about the prospects of what he could do for the province if he&#8217;s elected than he is about the prospect of actually being elected. I&#8217;m not suggesting that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I initially had this thought as I was walking out of Captain America earlier this summer, and let it sit for a while &#8211; to the point that it almost became irrelevant because the movie had been out for too long. This weekend&#8217;s anniversary of the 9/11 attacks makes it kinda relevant again, so here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a neat coincidence that I had a post planned out in my head when the recent story dropped regarding a young woman and her adventures with online dating and a Magic: The Gathering world champion. I&#8217;m not going to link the story because it doesn&#8217;t deserve the ad revenue, but the gist is: boy [...]]]></description>
