		<title>Bulk Flower Seeds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished a minor little project with my friend Kyley, who works in the bulk flower seed industry. I learned all kinds of fascinating stuff about the wildflower seed business. There is quite an interesting set of interaction between growers, wholesalers, and retailers. Often the lines get blurred, as growers buy their own seed [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Features on BarFly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working a little harder on BarFly lately. I realized I was not logging search queries generated by our users. How stupid of me to neglect an asset that helps me learn a ton about what kind of information people are seeking. I started logging this stuff and found ways I could make our [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Wear Baby Clothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I really don&#8217;t. Trust me, I&#8217;ve seen those baby people. The people who dress like babies. In all seriousness my friend Jason recently had a baby and his fiance is a product reviewer for baby clothing. They recently started a website reviewing all sorts of toddler type clothing, and Megan seems well adept at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Hour PDX!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You wouldn&#8217;t think it would take this long, but I finally got around to adding Portland happy hour info to BarFly.
There are still a good 200 bars that need updating, but maybe I&#8217;ll be able to get around to it.
With all the good happy hour sites out there, I knew I&#8217;d better get something added [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sellwood Antique Stores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emma Juhlin finally sent me another article. That chick rocks. She wrote a wonderful guide to the antique stores in Portland&#8217;s Sellwood Neighborhood. It fits nicely with her other article about Bernadette Breu.

		<title>Cedar Cupolas at TheBuilderStore.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently added cedar cupolas on the BuilderStore.com. Thiese products make a very complimentary addition to our cedar vents and decorative shutters. Cupolas can be either decorative or functional, and provide extremely adequate ventilation when it comes to venting attics and barns.

		<title>Opera 3.0 Mini</title>

They are of course dropping the &#8220;web 2.0&#8243; buzzwords, but have some added nifty features such as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diamond Shaped Gable Vents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been getting bad about adding new products to TheBuilderStore.com&#8230;bad in the way that we don&#8217;t add enough. Luckily, Frank has been better about sending me photos, most recently he sent me a photo of a diamond shaped gable vent. So now I have added diamond vents to our website. I assume we will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why ReInvent the Wheel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I think I waste too much time trying writing custom scripts to perform functions similar to existing open source ones. Part of my problem in that regards is that I&#8217;m a control freak: there is always some special set of features that aren&#8217;t included in available packages, and I always convince myself that it [...]]]></description>

YouTube might be the media darling (and I&#8217;m the old man who yearns from the halcyon days of the internet, when having a dot com name meant you could afford Network Solutions&#8217; high fees and crappy email template registration thingy.
The article barely glosses over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quitting Smoking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nine days ago, I accidently quit smoking. Pretty amazing, eh? I wasn&#8217;t planning on it, it just kind of happened. 7 days ago, it became a conscious effort, one which I have been doing well with. I decided to document in with a new blog: Kyle Quits Smoking

		<title>Portland Lighting</title>

She spoke briefly with David Ellis of Lux Lighting here in Portland. So if you are looking for some lighting tips, you know what to do.
In addition, Emma Juhlin wrote a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Relocating? Use an Exclusive Buyer&#8217;s Agent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My lovely friend Carla just posted an article about why relocation buyers should use an EBA for their agent. It makes perfect sense, since you don&#8217;t want some double dipping seller&#8217;s agent to scam you while you are moving across the country.
She also wrote and additional article about New Home Construction in Portland, and how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just received a few Portland Interior Designer profiles from a contributor today.
That site has been updated with profiles for Jason Ball and Miryam Brewer in articles entitled Interior Design, Portland Style and PDX Style with Miryam Brewer.
So we&#8217;ll see how the traffic comes in, and if these articles actualyl help people. Dope.

		<title>SMS Micro Payment Dreams</title>

Currently, the only realistic option you have for purchasing web content is to do a full or trial subscription. But what if you just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mainstream Vs. Adult</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I have dabbled in promoting adult (translation: porn) websites. They have never been anything more than a minor source of supplementary income, enough to pay my phone bills, web hosting, and maybe take the lady out for a nice dinner or two. I think I have a solid basic grasp of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eugene BarFly Soft Launch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nobody really reads this stuff anyway, so it&#8217;s safe to soft launch the very incomplete guide to Bars in Eugene, OR, better known as BarFly Eugene! It&#8217;s a natural and logical expansion, and a way for us to test the market outside of Portland proper. I&#8217;ll need to take another trip down there to continue [...]]]></description>
