		<title>New Tab, New You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is about a light-weight piece of software I wrote to help track a few things about me I&#8217;m interested in monitoring.  It&#8217;s freely available (to use and modify) here. This is a story.  One time, I wanted to get a lot better at pull-ups.  I wanted to be a good rock climber and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lion in the Wild</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last month, I&#8217;ve been just about incommunicado.  There&#8217;s a good reason for this&#8211; I promise.  Four weeks ago, I told my boss I was leaving Microsoft.  The next two weeks, I prepared for my departure, making sure all of my areas of responsibility were in good shape before I took off, and then, two [...]]]></description>

		<title>If You Can&#8217;t Beat Them&#8230; Have Them Beat Each Other</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No one&#8217;s perfect, and while for the most part our various failings are viewed as obstacles to us achieving our goals, I want to take a different viewpoint here: each of us has many vices that can actually help us achieve our goals.

		<title>Making Things Happen is a Skill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the two years that I&#8217;ve been running The Finishing School and preaching the gospel of Getting Out There and Doing Stuff, I&#8217;ve talked to a lot of people who don&#8217;t understand why they should have life goals. Why go out of your way to list these arbitrary and random things?  Why bother trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sorrows and Joys of the Bulldozer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo credit: Vinoth Chandar (flickr: vinothchandar) We hear a lot of hype about ideas. &#8220;Ideas can change the world&#8221;.  Right. &#8220;Ideas can move mountains&#8221;. Ideas don&#8217;t move mountains, Peter Drucker reminds us, bulldozers do.  Ideas just tell the bulldozers where to go. Know what this means?  I&#8217;ll tell you: Do you fancy yourself a bulldozer?

		<title>The Finishing School is starting in Boston!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost two years ago, I went to Seattle&#8217;s Zig Zag Cafe with a handful of friends, acquaintances, and strangers on a Wednesday night to discuss the things we most wanted to do in life. It was a group we called The Finishing School, and we&#8217;ve been meeting almost every month since to discuss what progress [...]]]></description>
