		<title>No More Fast Food!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A report for Los Angeles today mentioned a possible ban on fast food restaurants.
The proposal, which was forwarded to the full council, would prevent fast food chains from opening new restaurants in a 32-square-mile area that includes South Los Angeles, West Adams, Baldwin Hills and Leimert Park. The ban would be in effect for one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Failing Social Sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have heard of software that certain social networking sites are built upon, one of them being Ruby on Rails.
So far, two social networking sites, twitter.com and tribe.com have Ruby on Rails as their platform - and both sites continually crash, are down for &#8220;maintenance&#8221; or simply do not work, or are very slow.
Needless to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rachel Ray Wears Wrong Scarf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image Courtesy of USA Today
Apparantly, Rachel Ray, the well-known TV chef, was recently seen in a Dunkin&#8217; Donuts ad for their iced coffee. She was wearing, of all things (gasp) a scarf!
To some apparent morons, this scarf appears to them to be a Muslim only garment - like no one else wears scarfs, hmm? Here [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Corporate World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It used to be that one could work as long as they wanted to, and as long as they were a good employee. In modern times this is no longer true - especially in California, the state of &#8220;at will&#8221; employment. In other words, they can let you go for any reason, and don&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back for more&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well after a long unintended absence, I am back to write in my blog once more.   Whew!
So how has everyone been doing? Things have been plugging along, here, still workin&#8217;, but at least now I have been doing some fun new things at work. I went to the Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas and learned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fire in San Diego</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s been forever and a day since I have written anything, but since I have been out of work for a couple of days, and the county of San Diego California is burning down around us, I guess I have a bit more time on my hands!
There are many fires burning in San [...]]]></description>

		<title>School Bans Kids&#8217; Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It used to be that when we were children, you played games, got into fights, wrestled (or wrastled, depending on where you lived), fell down, got banged up, or just plain screaming and yelling and having fun playing games.
Now, all that is ending. Certain members of society are slowly banning normal childhood activities, removing fun [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food Contamination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More and more there are reports of contaminated food, whether it&#8217;s food poisoning from a fast food restaurant to salmonella in your peanut butter. Huh? Salmonella in peanut butter? And now they recently recalled fresh spinach from California farms for testing positive with salmonella - again!
How is this happening? More importantly, why is this happening? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friends - Online or Offline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a rant by someone on MySpace regarding how fake online friends are, or, as they put it, how they are only interested in increasing their friends list. Of course!
I tend to use the term &#8216;friend&#8217; not so loosely. There is a difference between a friend, and an acquaintance - now this isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Which I haven&#8217;t been doing. At least not on blogs.
I have been in the process of doing other creative things, like writing a book, music (my new drum band) and of course, work. I went balls out on this blog some time ago (I cannot believe it&#8217;s almost a year ago) and now it has [...]]]></description>
