		<title>The Cobbler&#8217;s Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an old story that tells of a cobbler who was so busy making shoes for his paying customers that his own children went barefoot.

		<title>Sourcing and Dating: The Same Rules Apply</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, let me say that I think dating sucks. Let me say it again, but with a slight different angle: dating today sucks. For those of you who are happily married, please stop saying to your single friends, &#8220;Some day, you&#8217;ll find &#8216;the right one!&#8217;&#8221; It pisses us off because we know you haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital Slacktivism: A Rant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a bit unbalanced when it comes to my feelings about social media. I love it, yet at the same time I hate it. Lately, I hate it. And for good reason.

		<title>Why Using Keywords In Your URLs Is Important</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use a social network aggregation tool to track several keyword searches, both for personal and professional use. One of the search columns I have, naturally, is for the keyword &#8220;sourcecon&#8220;. I want to know who&#8217;s talking about it and referring to it so I can respond when it&#8217;s appropriate.
