		<title>Look at me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been a couple of incidents over the past few days that have highlighted for me what I call the dark side of social media: our obsession with attention. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I love attention. If I didn&#8217;t, I wouldn&#8217;t be on Twitter, Facebook or this site. If I didn&#8217;t like the limelight, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honey vs. vinegar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Google News Alerts. They&#8217;re certainly not the end-all answer to everything, but they are a great way to have relevant news articles and web content delivered directly to my inbox. It&#8217;s an almost instant way to see what people are writing about me and my association, allowing me to respond when necessary or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Give and get</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just under a year and a half ago, I starting using Twitter &#8220;seriously.&#8221; In other words, I sucked it up and retried a service I previously thought was fairly useless. At the time, it seemed like just one more channel of information to have to monitor. It hurts to admit that, because since then I [...]]]></description>

		<title>My collection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a Twitter conversation earlier today with the lovely Lauren Leeds, I said something to the effect that I collect live concerts like others collect stamps. In other words, going to see concerts is something of a hobby. I just love the experience of seeing a band perform live. And then I started to think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why can&#039;t I be me?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most grammar nerds, I'm amazed when I hear or read improper grammar from otherwise intelligent folks. In print, there are a few typical ones that send most writers and editors searching for a stiff drink, namely the "there," "they're," "their" issue, as well as "your" vs. "you're," "affect" vs. "effect," "its" vs. "it's," "then" vs. "than" ... the list goes on and on.

One of my BIGGEST pet peeves, though, is people who can't seem to figure out when to use "I" vs. "me."

See, sometime back in our elementary school pasts, our teachers hammered into our heads the importance of using "I" properly, which is definitely important. The problem is, some of us apparently learned that "me" is never correct, which is, of course, just plain wrong.

For example, I'll hear (or read) the following:

"Who wants to go to the store with Jess and I?"

Looks right, doesn't it? I mean, it's ALWAYS right to use "I," isn't it?]]></description>

		<title>Why can&#039;t I be you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sitting on this site for quite some time trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I often say that I seem to be getting dumber every day and nothing exacerbates that feeling more than the fact that I still can&#8217;t quite get a grip on what I want to [...]]]></description>
