		<title>Best duffel bag ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It’s one of our top sellers because there are so many people that have some kind of connection with aviation in Canada, or the Air Force, that it appeals to. It’s rugged, the webbing goes all the way around, you can put a ton in it. That’s why we don’t put a shoulder strap on [...]]]></description>

		<title>What if the U.S. Senate was elected in proportion to voter income? Or by age?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting thought exercise. Organizing the upper house of the U.S. (or here in Canada, if it ever becomes elected) by territory is really as arbitrary as by any other means. What if senators represented people by income or race, not by state? &#8230; What if the 100-member Senate were designed to mirror the overall [...]]]></description>

		<title>Play Adobe Flash videos in fullscreen while you work on your second monitor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While watching 2K Games&#8217;s live broadcast at PAX I finally got fed up with Adobe Flash&#8217;s habit of closing the full screen viewer whenever you click elsewhere and make it lose focus. I eventually found Axel Gembe&#8217;s IgnoFlash Patch, which Flash Netscape and ActiveX plugins to keep them in fullscreen until you specifically terminate that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short sellers as the fall guy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Short-selling isn&#8217;t that bad A recently published study by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Toronto examined 216 corporate fraud cases between 1996 and 2004. Shorts uncovered 14.5% of those frauds, not far behind the 17% that were exposed by whistleblowers within companies. And what about the SEC? It uncovered just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jeremy Clarkson on Quentin Tarantino (and paying attention to detail)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This gave me a whole new appreciation for Kill Bill and Tarantino. Special effects I suppose I should say at this point that I&#8217;m a Tarantino fan. And the reason I&#8217;m a Tarantino fan is that he pays attention to everything; what people say, how they look, and why they&#8217;re doing what they&#8217;re doing. Watch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interim project deadlines as a cure for procrastination</title>

I just received an upsell e-mail from Google asking if I wanted to try their Premier Edition free for 30 days.

		<title>Leading versus managing</title>
