		<title>Google&#8217;s R&amp;B Easy Listening Song Generator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving late at night, I often listen to my local quiet storm radio station, hoping the perfect Luther Vandross will be on to guide me home in sonic safety. Unfortunately, while R&#38;B&#8217;s soul runs deep, the themes run thin. Sometimes when I hear a new song of the &#8220;when I say goodbye, it doesn&#8217;t mean [...]]]></description>

		<title>Foursquare Urban Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have ever used Foursquare, and felt like it just didn&#8217;t have enough bite? Then what you probably need is Foursquare Urban. Urban street cred comes at a price, but keeping track of it can be time-consuming.  Did J.Q. pop Rockstar Eddy? How much time did Lil&#8217; creeker do inside for ripping off that liquor store?

		<title>Peckish — Stop tweets about what we eat!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So in case you haven&#8217;t noticed, blogs are so 2007 (I mean, I can&#8217;t even believe you&#8217;re reading this, are you in a cave?) These days all the cool kids twitter. But even cool kids run out of things to say, and when all else fails, most people talk about what they had for Lunch. [...]]]></description>

		<title>“Creek and Crack” the new show from ESPN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever watched Sports Center and realized that you never got your 15 minutes of fame?  Then this might be the show for you. Here&#8217;s my pitch: ESPN starts a televised call-in show for regular folk to complain about sports injuries. It would be like Car Talk but instead of talking about your crap car, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Attachment Bot: Warns you if you forgot an email attachment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a simple million-dollar idea: A mail program plugin that alerts you when you forget an email attachment: Warning: Your email message contained the word &#8220;attached&#8221;, however, there was no attachment on your message. That is all. Simple and sweet&#8230; someone, make it for us, pretty please?]]></description>

		<title>Stealing ideas from Silicon Valley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patenting ideas isn&#8217;t rocket science, take an idea that everyone already knows about, describe it in just a slightly different way (add a bunch of lawyers) and then turn around and sue everybody else for trying to do the same thing. But what if that sounds like too much trouble&#8230;I mean stealing should be easy [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s money in aromatherapy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really can&#8217;t tell whose rich anymore. The Beverly Hillbillies knew that if you looked poor at least live in a fancy house. But take for example Northern California: everything is expensive but do you really know who has money? That kid on the bike could be a Google heir. About those Yahoo punks over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sports drink ibuprofen style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a sucker for sports drinks, sure you can just drink water but when thirstbuster tells me I&#8217;m going to feel refreshed, I believe them. But being close to 40, sports isn&#8217;t what it used to be and while energy and hydration are only a drink a way, I still need pop a few motrin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Netflix Mood Ring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a hard day at work is done, the fridge is full of beer, and you have a commitment free night ready for the taking &#8230; too bad all you have from Netflix are art films and documentaries. It seemed like a good idea at the time, a documentary about documentaries. If only you knew [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey, you put your coke in my snickers!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend David (to protect his identity, let&#8217;s just call him David Beck) doesn&#8217;t seem to feel satisfied by a Snickers bar. So he usually chases it down it with a Coke and handful or so of Sugar Babies. Which is all fine and good &#8211; but why the extra step? When I want soda [...]]]></description>
