		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sitting in a coffee shop in Seattle and listening to the conversations around me: at three of the nearby tables a recently ex-Microsoft employee pitching himself.

One of the guys is talking to a local VC — but his idea must be really dumb, because the VC guy just doesn&#8217;t look engaged. Another guy was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times mobile Web site has been around for a while now, but I&#8217;ve never really appreciated it.

Mostly what I didn&#8217;t like was the pagination of the articles. I&#8217;m a reader. I like to read and having to click on the next page link three or four time to read an article was [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t begin to imagine how many liters of water this kettle has boiled keeping me caffeinated.

		<description><![CDATA[Molly seems to be getting bigger and bigger every day. Just this morning, I awoke to discover Molly standing next to my bed dressed in one of her many monkey-themed shirts and a pair of jeans. Nothing too radical or unusual&#8230; except, I hadn&#8217;t dressed her. And it was still too early for Anna to [...]]]></description>

One of the things that made (and still makes) Molly special is she&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If this is the &#8220;Christmas Spirit&#8221; I&#8217;ve heard so much about, I think I really may become a pagan after all.

In other news, Jeff and I celebrated our anniversary by taking Miss Molly to see Bolt, and had a delicious little Carvel ice cream cake. Five years later, and we still take this day off [...]]]></description>

The silver ring I gave her when she accepted me back into her life.
