		<title>Sick of Bad Ads? Does clicking help?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I work in advertising.  I make banner ads for a living and thus when I&#8217;m working I click a lot of ads, my own and competitors. I&#8217;ve noticed that at work, when I surf the good sites, I see a lot of high quality advertising from major manufacturers. When I go home  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft Wins, Loses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having just finished doing an MBA I can tell you in no uncertain terms that MS Office is an amazing suite of software.  Powerpoint has a lot of the basic functions of Photoshop, yet is simple enough for the non-techy to use.  Sure, they are really overly &#8220;interfacey&#8221; preferring sub-menus and wizards to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not Soulless, It&#8217;s Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was having a conversation with a friend of friend the other day and he was asking me about my MBA.  It was basically the question &#8220;so why an MBA?&#8221; As if the MBA is the height of disgust.  (This was implied, not explicit.)  My answer to him was simple.  Because what [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Not a Felon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had a good thing going with this blog.  When you put my name into Google, things related to me and only me dominated the results.  I&#8217;m sure the other Kara McIntosh&#8217;s of the world were angry, but unless they wanted to put the time and effort into it, they were just going [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hobbies to Rediscover Pt. 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I posted about hobbies I wanted to rediscover once every spare second wasn&#8217;t spent on studying for that MBA thing.  It&#8217;s only been a few weeks since my last exam, but I wanted to give a progress report.
The 5 things I was going to do were: read fiction, practice music, learn French, [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;m Good At</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just did my last group assingment at MBA school.  I think it&#8217;s a good time to reflect on what strengths emerged over the course of 2 years. Here they are in reverse order.
5) Cheerleading! &#8211; Even after midnight when we had no clue what was going on, my team could rely on me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I Learned At School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another thing I&#8217;ve learned while doing my MBA is that having understood roles or hierarchies are VERY necessary to get work done.  I&#8217;m so close to the end and the closer I get, the bossier I get with my groups.  
While I&#8217;ve learned that authority or respect is never given, it is earned, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fog of War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Heard the news today that Robert McNamara has passed away.  By coincidence, Marc and I just saw The Fog of War two days ago. I would describe the movie as &#8220;chilling.&#8221; Robert McNamara is clearly a thoughtful, intelligent, reasonable person.  Yet in the movie he describes his involvement with fire-bombings in WWII &#8211; actions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Proud of This One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Marc and I volunteered to build a website for the building we live in.  It&#8217;s built on Wordpress and it&#8217;s my first experience with user demands. I had to install 9 plugins to deal with all the requirements.
The funnest thing is the theme, Atahualpa. It has an additional interface where you can customize a lot [...]]]></description>
