		<title>San Francisco with New Eyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent the past week in San Francisco for VMware&#8217;s VMworld 2010.  I was meeting colleagues and friends, working long hours, and having a lot of fun.  But at the week&#8217;s end my trip transitioned from work to pleasure and I enjoyed the company of my oldest friends in the area.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beijing Work Visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just left Beijing, the first stop in an Asia Pacific tour of training I am delivering for my coworkers.  This was my first time in the greater China region and my expectations were low.  I had only 72 hours in the city and knew that work would dominate my time.  Also, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Loyal Are Singaporeans?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At an unpredictable frequency a small newspaper is slipped under the front door of my Singaporean residence.  This paper, titled &#8220;Today&#8221;, covers a variety of news items on Singapore that I mostly ignore.  But the front page of the edition laying on my floor after my return from Australia caught my attention: &#8220;How [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spain Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote a mostly true but highly dramatized account of my run in Pamplona a couple weeks back.  Besides that, this is my first update from our Spanish holiday that ended last week.  I have an hour of video footage that I am cobbling together to make a few interesting clips but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Contagion of Terror</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Will and I ran with the bulls at San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain.  The experience was uniquely terrifying.  The bulls are over half a ton and they race through the streets like a bobsled with swords.  Yesterday the bulls completed the half mile run in just over two minutes.  At [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona At a Glance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I arrived in Barcelona from Singapore this morning around 9:00 AM local time.  The flight seemed quite long, my seat being in coach, but I was able to medicate myself to a light sleep for most of the flight.  We stopped over in Milan for an hour and then finished the final hop [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sum of My Possessions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been living off of the contents of three suitcases in early May.  The rest of my life&#8217;s possessions are coming over from the US this week.  They are to be delivered to my new place on Monday.  But since I seem to living comfortably now, I am really beginning to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Betting the Ponies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have learned more about Singapore from its taxi drivers than the rest of the islands inhabitants.  This morning I struck up a conversation on gambling in Singapore on the ride to work.  The driver&#8217;s experiences confirmed a long time suspicion of mine.
For four years ending just recently my driver was a runner [...]]]></description>

		<title>Singapore Taxis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently discovered the amazing Singapore taxi system.  I have visited no place in the world whose taxis were as efficient, clean, fast, and cheap as this.
The taxi system here starts with the phone.  Taxi dispatchers are computerized and automated based on the caller&#8217;s phone number.  The computer remembers the caller&#8217;s previous [...]]]></description>
