		<title>Remakes&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is really sad when Hollywood thinks it can do a better job than a foreign original. Actually wait, more sad is that it &#8220;needs&#8221; to be remade at all. Case in point: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). There is no way it is going to be anywhere close to the original. Noomi [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kurt&#8217;s Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently pointed by Sara at a very early stage project, set in motion by Courtney Love, to tell the Kurt Cobain story in movie form. Nirvana was one of the top bands around when I was discovering music during my formative years. They and others such as Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engaging Staff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of discussion has surrounded engaging a student population but not too much has been said about engaging staff. David Johnston said recently at the town hall meeting that staff at uWaterloo are innovative and are always asking how things could be made better in their own areas. This is great and I agree [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Adulthood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we age, we age. Our minds, bodies, habits, likes, dislikes, and maturity all change from day to day. Each changes in different ways and at different rates depending on various factors. If we do crosswords and puzzles our minds stay sharp. If we do yoga and play hockey our bodies stay strong. If we [...]]]></description>

		<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 [...]]]></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 stripes [...]]]></description>
