		<title>I hate restaurants.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people love restaurants. I&#8217;m gonna go on record and state affirmatively that I hate them. I hate being seated, being served (no one should ever be &#8220;served&#8221; in this world), trying to get the attention of the waiter when something inevitably gets f&#8217;d up, looking around at the piles of wasted food everywhere, trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw Eli playing with toy guys today-Batman, Frodo, the Mask. I glimpsed him doing it in the front room, in our CA cottage. Probably the last time I&#8217;ll ever see it. There is nothing more magical than watching your son play with toy guys; the way their hands and fingers connect with the toy [...]]]></description>

		<title>NEA logo entry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last month I spent a bunch of time working on a logo design in response to Uncle Sam&#8217;s RFP: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/01/wholl-design-the-new-nea-logo-it-could-be-you/ . Regardless of what I think of spec work, I love high scale design competitions. Too much design is born from who-you-know and schmoozing. Here&#8217;s my submission:]]></description>

		<title>The mccondo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at the ft Erie town meeting and 2 hours into it were hearing the same pro-condo heads go on and on. Were all in agreement on this point- the town needs more people, more business. The people you&#8217;re gonna get are not what you want. You want people to fix the cottages and build [...]]]></description>

		<title>Futura vs. Verdana</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK all you typography snobs out there, up in arms over Ikea&#8217;s recent switch to Verdana (google ikea verdana), ask yourselves: If you had one store to shop for all of your furniture, what would it be? Ikea, right. If you had one font to use on everything you designed, what would it be? Well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things are better for my kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A theme you hear is how parents want to make sure their kids have all the things they didn&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t get that. I had everything; my parents gave us lots of toys and good food and everything. Maybe it was being a child of the 70s/80s, when things were pretty plentiful. Today I was [...]]]></description>
