		<title>Canada: Golden!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Way to go Canada! Everything from speed skating to snow board and curling to hockey.
Luongo and Crosby cement the all-time gold medal record (14) and continue our dominance in the sport! All I can hear out my window now is the frenzied cheers and honking horns of proud Canadians.
Congrats to our fierce Canadian athletes. Go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even as Russia rattles her sabre the world can rest assured that today marks the day tides have shifted. Oil prices have corrected to some degree and even though their height will effect markets for the foreseeable future things will begin to improve. Financial institutions are in jeopardy as the inherent greed within has spilled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t fear the tender</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had our second last hockey game of the Campus Rec fall regular season tonight. There is one more game on November 11th before we go into play-offs. This hasn&#8217;t been our best season to date but with our 7 to 4 win tonight we brought our record up to 2-3-0 (W-L-T). Hopefully we&#8217;ll win [...]]]></description>

		<title>No ordinary person indeed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The disciplines of physical exercise, meditation and study aren&#8217;t terribly esoteric. The means to attain a capability far beyond that of the so-called ordinary person are within reach of everyone, if their desire and their will are strong enough. I have studied science, art, religion and a hundred different philosophies. Anyone could do as much. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Perfect Question Mark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not one who can say they have good penmanship. In fact, my standard speed scrawl is fairly illegible; often even to me. If I slow way down and draw my character forms deliberately things look pretty good but it takes me forever to write anything. This level of penmanship is saved only for Hallmark [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stripes and such</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason I had an inspiration to make a stripe-y wallpaper in blues to go with the XP Media Center theme.  I started off with vertical stripes and a lot of light/shadow work which worked out pretty well but wasn&#8217;t quite what I was after. The second attempt switched to 45 degree angled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Awakenings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sorting through folders of old files lately and I came across this short story I wrote. It is dated July 29, 2001 so don&#8217;t judge it too harshly my writing has improved quite a bit since then.
I wrote this after being inspired by two different books: I, Robot by Isaac Asimov and Flatland [...]]]></description>

My new title is Information Systems Developer and I am responsible for the design and development of web projects for the department of Housing and Residences.

		<title>Plastic Bag Tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is a letter that I am sending out via email to the local, provincial and federal governments.
I was inspired by an article in the New York Times that discussed the success of Ireland taxing plastic bags. It is my belief that a future conscious city such as ours should consider championing this cause [...]]]></description>
