		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been busy since early in the year working with several people to start a new company. while, it&#8217;s left little time to blog, we&#8217;ve had many great conversations about what we want to build and how we want to build it. Although our website isn&#8217;t finished, we recently started a blog and I&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, I was with family. Before gifts were opened, my daughter was playing. And I had this interesting exchange with my mother and my brother&#8217;s wife. They were talking about how the normal heating system in a house can leave one part of the house hot and another cold.
My mother mentioned that, if they build [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debate on Health Care has clearly been hated. My previous post on the topic develops an idea I had discussed with my Dad. Generally his views are on the Conservative end of the spectrum and (suprisingly to me), he thought it was a great idea at the time. Even more interestingly is that (at [...]]]></description>

&#8220;There goes my liberal opponent again—demanding yet another tax. He&#8217;s never seen a tax he didn&#8217;t like. Now he wants to raise your gasoline taxes&#8230; The American people have been taxed quite enough, thank you!&#8221;
&#8220;The American people certainly have been taxed quite enough. I totally agree. Right now they are being taxed [...]]]></description>

Both Candidates for President have health care proposals (Obama and McCain).  But, the genesis for this blog was an idea for a way [...]]]></description>
