		<title>Silicon Valley Street Cred Badge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I earned some Silicon Valley street cred this week. Bizzy, the startup I had been working on for the last year and a half was shuttered. I found out on Monday and our last day as a team was on Wednesday. So bummed. I could spend a lot of energy worrying about what went wrong, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Omar Back.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Updated WordPress, slapped on a new theme, and deleted a bunch of bogus spam comments. I gotta hand it to some of them for trying REALLY hard to make their comments relevant to the post they were defacing. Grandma&#8217;s are special peoples. I wish I had relations with mine like so. I wish Grandmas never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resurrection.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The request has been made that I get back in business on the blog writing. You know who you are. I&#8217;m back at it. Coming back to visit this space, however, I realized that my twitter widget was borked. This means, first thing on the agenda is a fresh coat of paint around this place. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Black Grandma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was my way of distinguishing between my two grandmothers. Simple ways, like who was the mother to which of my parents were way too hard for me to keep track of, so I went with color. I&#8217;m not actually biracial, unless you count agnostic and Catholic, and I&#8217;m sure some people would. The White [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Morning, Son</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got out of the water, but it wasn&#8217;t the swarms of tiny, almost invisible jellyfish that forced me back to the beach. The swell&#8230; the motion, while I stood there tip-toed on the bottom in between waves, was making me sick. If I didn&#8217;t know better, I&#8217;d have thought I was drunk. It wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Road Rager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am pooped, and have nothing of any value to add tonight. However, I&#8217;m only on day 69 out of the 365 IN A ROW, I committed to, so I offer one tidbit. So the other morning, I am driving to work, and was in the far left lane when I realize this [redacted] was [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Don&#8217;t Clean Fish Tanks.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned Small&#8217;s affinity for fishing that came seemingly out of NOWHERE, right? The kid is like a real life Benjamin Button. If I wasn&#8217;t actually there when he was born, I would swear that he was an old man trapped in a 7 year old body. Bolstering my case is the fact that he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Awesome Begets Awesome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[@aaronh introduced me to a new blog. It&#8217;s called &#8220;My Parents Were Awesome&#8220;, and it is&#8230;well&#8230;awesome. It is full of the submitted pictures of readers&#8217; parents being their super cool selves &#8220;back in the day&#8221;, as the kids say. Highly recommend. I leave you with this photo, not from the blog. My Grandma Jane. She [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hierarchy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find the idea of hierarchy endlessly interesting. Tangentially related to the aforementioned Sears Wishbook, my grade school friend and I used to play this game where we would take a huge catalog, like the Wishbook or JCPenny, or whatever we had, and we would sit together and go through page by page, announcing the [...]]]></description>
