		<title>New Airline Rules Regarding Delays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who haven&#8217;t been following along, there are some new airline rules going into affect regarding delays that force aircrafts to sit on the tarmac.

		<title>Here Comes The Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It won&#8217;t be much longer now until things start heating up around here.  It seems like just a few days ago that Christmas was here (or possibly it only seems that way because my tree is still up).  I for one am getting pretty excited about enjoying the sun again when it comes. [...]]]></description>

		<title>No, I&#8217;m Not Dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Turns out I haven&#8217;t written anything in almost two weeks now.  Truthfully, I almost completely forgot about my blog, partially a consequence of not having anything to write about, and partially due to all the things I have going on lately.   I&#8217;ve actually quite enjoyed taking a break, and don&#8217;t really think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Olympics 2010: The Adventures of an Incurable Pessimist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon out in Hamilton, Ontario, watching the Canada vs the United States hockey game.   This morning I predicted that they would win with a 3-2 margin, which they did.  And on that note, thus ends the 2010 Winter Olympics.
I&#8217;ll be honest &#8212; I was against the Olympics.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiking, Camping, And All Things Duane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up yesterday to another sunny day here in CowTown&#8482;.  I was debating going to the gym, but decided instead to go and try a local hike.  So I pulled my hiking boots out of a box, found some clean socks, and drove up to the trailhead for Teapot Hill, which is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roger Ebert In Esquire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a great story about Roger Ebert last night on the Esquire website.  It&#8217;s an article written by Chris Jones, and it&#8217;s one of the better pieces I&#8217;ve read in quite a while, partially because I&#8217;ve been a long time reader of Roger&#8217;s film reviews. Many people probably aren&#8217;t aware of this, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do The Olympics Mean To You?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went down to the Atlantic House the other day with Rebecca, John Bollwitt, and John Biehler.  We did our best to help the Atlantic House with their excess beer problem, and eventually had to solicit the help of a few other people, namely Robert Scales and Kris Krug, who happened to be in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 3 Highlights: Swiss House and Atlantic House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We started the day yesterday down on Granville Island, eating a nice healthy breakfast of cheese fondue at the Swiss House.  Rebecca was there to judge a chocolate contest, and we tagged along for the event.  The Swiss House is in Bridges on Granville Island, which is a really picturesque location.

		<title>Jenn Heil&#8217;s Final Mogul Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Biehler and I decided to grab some grub around 7pm tonight, but unfortunately, had a hard time finding a place that could initially accommodate us.   The first pub we tried to get into (on the corner of Robson and Granville) was completely full, so we decided to try the Kingston Pub on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Stock Photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started putting some of my Olympic photos on VancouverStockPhotos.ca for use by organizations seeking stock photos from around Vancouver during the Olympics.  John Biehler is also going to be putting a pile of his photos up soon there, so if you know of anyone looking for commercial licenses for photographs, by all means [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Democratic Rights During The Olympics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I got to walk along Robson Street and watch the protests as they occurred.  Given that I saw first-hand how the police officers and the protesters interacted, I thought I would make a few comments.
First, it is everyone&#8217;s democratic right in Canada to be allowed to protest peacefully &#8212; these rights are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inside the BC International Media Center</title>

Here&#8217;s a quick video that John and I shot to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Riots and Protests In Vancouver</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning John Bollwitt and I were sitting on his couch watching TV and saw that there were a group of protesters heading towards Robson Street.  Both him and I immediately grabbed our cameras and headed outside to see if we could see what was going on, and possibly grab a few photos.
The group [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Barenaked Ladies&#8217; On Robson Street</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shortly after arriving in Vancouver, I saw someone Tweet that the Barenaked Ladies were busking on Robson Street, so I strolled on down.  Sure enough, right on the corner of Robson and Burrard was a massive group of people and music playing.  I only got to listen to a few minutes worth of [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Hour Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m somewhere near Surrey I think, stuck near the back on a Greyhound bus.  The mood here is pretty dismal &#8212; most people are either sleeping or in some weird state of iPod euphoria.  The scheduled arrival time, barring any major road hiccups, is around 12:10pm I think.  The first order of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Opening Ceremonies</title>

		<title>Live Yaletown Web Camera During The Games</title>

To that end there&#8217;s a new Yaletown web camera that&#8217;s now operational that gives views to [...]]]></description>

		<title>On The Olympic Agenda</title>

It sounds like there are a lot of international houses that are worth [...]]]></description>

As I mentioned before, I&#8217;ll be working during the days, most likely near Gastown.  At lunch and in the evenings I&#8217;ll hopefully be bouncing around with my camera, taking photos or checking out [...]]]></description>
