		<title>Outliers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the second book by Gladwell I've read, (the first being Blink) and once again he does not disappoint. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell poses some pretty interesting ideas, not due to their complexity, but rather due to their simplicity. These are the kinds of statements that you've probably always wondered about in the back [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Reality of Virtual Communities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: This was an essay I had written for my very first English composition class in college, back in Febuary, 2007. Obviously, it is very dated and the technology and terminology discussed below have evolved tremendously in the last three years.
With the internet becoming more functional everyday, people all over the world are finding new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding the Cheese in Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes big things can come in small packages, as with the short story titled “Who Moved My Cheese?” After first flipping through the pages of this thin 96-page book, I was surprised that it wasn’t supposed to be in the children’s section of the bookstore.

		<description><![CDATA[Creating Earth’s Largest Store, One Book at a Time
The Internet has impacted our lives in more ways than we can describe and yet we seldom know the names and faces behind the brands, products and services that made it all possible. Everyday, we check our email, buy gifts, track stock prices, read news articles and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Research Project to King of the Web
Due to the rapid growth of the Internet in the 1990s, we have seen an influx of web companies come and go over the years. Some were far too bent on turning a quick profit and failed to satisfy their customers. Others simply imitated already established companies, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starbucks Graffiti with Disclaimer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Now here's something you won't find in everyday in a Starbucks: Graffiti on the wall with a disclaimer next to it in Wellington, Florida. I wonder why they bothered with typing, printing and attaching the sign when they could have simply covered up or removed the graffiti in the first place. Does Starbucks have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a great book titled Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar: How Self-Education and the Pursuit of Passion Can Lead to a Lifetime of Success by James Marcus Bach. All I can say is: Wow! If you're even somewhat interested in what it means to be self-educated, you must read this. At just 193 pages, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Death Penalty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Understanding the Philosophy of Capital Punishment in America
There are few discussions that result in as much heated debate as those that revolve around the use of the death penalty. Although the concept of taking an individual’s life for the commission of a crime has been around since the dawn of organized civilization, it is not [...]]]></description>
