		<title>The much-anticipated, full and unadulterated review of the iPhone &#8211; three months in</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been nearly three months since I began my second iPhone journey and if it&#8217;s any indidcation, the gist of this post has changed several times before I&#8217;ve managed to write it.  The iPhone is a device that commands both loved and hated sentiments (but rarely anything in between), as Om blogged about last week.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pitt Basketball is No. 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For as long as I can remember, I&#8217;ve been rooting for University of Pittsburgh sports teams.  My dad, grandmother, grandfather and scattered other relatives all attended Pitt and so it&#8217;s been natural for me to root for them, sometimes even ahead of my own alma-maters.  So it&#8217;s particularly exciting for me that today, Pitt Basketball [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Facebook has crossed the canyon, changed the way we communicate&#8230;and should buy Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Facebook has crossed the canyon.  If the &#8220;chasm&#8221; is the leap from early adopters to mainstream, then the &#8220;canyon&#8221; is the leap from mainstream to mass commercial appeal.  Facebook has taken that leap.  In the past few months, my dad, uncle, aunt and the mother of a high school friend have all joined Facebook.  Facebook [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts from the sky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m on UAL 673 from LGA to Chicago right now.  It’s been a little while since I flew one of the old-school U.S. airlines – I’ve favored JetBlue and Virgin America recently &#8211; and while it wasn’t a carefully considered decision, now I know why.  A few years ago, I lived on United.  At one [...]]]></description>

		<title>President-elect Obama: Please invest in our country&#8217;s future, not it&#8217;s past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Future White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, was recently quoted as saying &#8220;You never want to let a crisis go to waste&#8230;it&#8217;s an opportunity to [get things done]&#8230;.&#8221;  I sure hope that Barack Obama is smart enough and courageous enough to listen to his appointed advisor. There are two immediate areas where we have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama, Detroit and The Bailout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone seems to have an opinion lately of how the government should handle the current economic crisis.  Normally, these would be easy to dismiss, given our relative inexperience compared to the authority of those in charge, however watching Hank Paulson waffle back and forth, seemingly each week, on the best strategy to secure the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bittersweet election for opponents of Prop 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In last week&#8217;s election in California, Proposition 8, a measure to reverse the right of same-sex couples to marry (a right that had been granted them by the State Supreme Court in May with a 4-to-3 vote), passed 52% to 48%.  An interesting wrinkle here is that, according to exit polls, Black voters came out [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Day After</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m riding on the train back to New York from a whirlwind two nights in DC.  On Monday night, I went with some friends to the Redskins-Steelers game – a Monday night tradition before Election Day &#8211; and the mood was electric.  Last night, after the results arrived and we watched Obama’s acceptance speech, we [...]]]></description>
