		<title>A Phineas and Ferb Halloween (in progress)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I scared the crap out of a lot of middle school kids who came trick or treating to our house.  This year we decided to mix it up and do something fun, so we&#8217;re having a Phineas and Ferb dance party on our front porch.  I can do a passable Doofenshmirtz voice, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Date your advisor before getting married</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since we sold MyBlogLog to Yahoo in 2007, I&#8217;ve regularly been asked to advise startups. I&#8217;ve agreed several times and I&#8217;ve brought on advisors to help with the companies I launched after.  I&#8217;ve found the experience to be a mixed bag on both sides of the table. If you&#8217;re thinking about becoming or bringing on [...]]]></description>
