		<title>Faith-healing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God started following me before there was a Twitter.  (Yes, that could be a bumper sticker.)   When I moved here to Texas&#8211; that bible-thumping, right-wing Christian evangelist, giant State bigger than the Country of France (it&#8217;s true)&#8211; something odd happened.  I got turned off by religion.  I kind of shut down spiritually.
I&#8217;ve been wandering [...]]]></description>

		<title>Here&#8217;s to Ringing in the New Decade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The decade that was (2000 &#8211; 2009) was pretty much a disaster.  I am looking so forward to putting this lost decade behind me.  In 2000, the industry that I loved and had dedicated my career to tanked, bring my career prospects, my investments, and my sense of security to a new low. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Studies 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So. There it was. An iPhone just laying there under the front passenger seat of my cab. Should I pick it up? I knew it wasn’t the taxi driver’s because he was chatting up his friend on his phone while he zoomed me down 5th Avenue. Yeah, I gotta pick it up. Should be easy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Men on Top</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of conversation (again) surrounding the lack of diversity, and particularly, women represented in our tech sector.   I was started to see this dramatic breakdown of 2.0 Adoption Council fans on my Facebook page.

		<title>Eye on Poverty: Homelessness Revealed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With so many Americans still out of work, I&#8217;m particularly sensitive to the plight of the homeless these days.   It&#8217;s alarming to recognize how quickly individuals could find themselves without proper shelter for themselves and their families.   I heard a statistic on the radio that homelessness has risen to over 10,000 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting The &#8220;Strength of Weak Ties&#8221; to the Test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine here in Austin is launching a business that delivers small wind solutions to communities.   It occurred to me as she was telling me about her business, that I know absolutely nothing about small wind, yet I do know about a little thing we&#8217;ve come to know in 2.0 circles [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Comment?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I was doing one-on-one tutorials for a series of consultants to introduce them to the blogosphere.  I told them blogging stands on a three-legged stool: posting, linking, and commenting.  In order to be successful, you need to do all three because a blog (personal or professional) is not your opportunity to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The No-Asshole Rule for the Social Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t like the word, &#8220;asshole.&#8221;  I tell my kids when they&#8217;re tempted to use it to visualize it.  A good deterrent.  But like no other word in the marginally unacceptable words for polite conversation does &#8220;asshole&#8221; communicate so effectively.  If you&#8217;re labeled an asshole, you probably are, in other words.

		<title>Cosmic Connections, Lessons, and some Blessings from the SocialWeb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written many times about how the SocialWeb is teaching us and opening us up to a greater understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.   This week, I witnessed first hand the power of relationships, the immediacy of the SocialWeb, and learned a great lesson in tolerance and understanding, and dare [...]]]></description>
