		<title>Stand Up While You Read This!  More validation that the TrekDesk is the right product at the right time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great article from the NYT by Olivia Judson about the health benefits of staying active while working.  I am a huge believer in this concept, and I built my own treadmill desk some years ago with the help of my brother-in-law.  I was thinking about taking the idea to market when PassageMaker was [...]]]></description>

What I found most interesting was the &#8220;child&#8221; part &#8211; when I was 15 I would have slugged anyone who called me a child.  During the summer of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arrogant Americans need not apply, the decline (?) of the West and what if the Chinese stop buying US paper?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The enemy always has problems of his own of which you are unaware.&#8221; &#8211; George C. Marshall 
Not that China is necessarily our enemy, but they are certainly a competitor, and I don&#8217;t normally borrow money from my competitors.  Some interesting articles covering all sides of the USA declining(?) debate and other silliness.

		<description><![CDATA[My Blackberry Storm 2 from Verizon Wireless has been progressively crapping out on this trip.  It is not a good device, and the longer I have it, the less impressed I am.  In addition to the outrageous charges to receive calls &#8211; I practically had to hang up on a few clients to get them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Day 32 &#8211; After recovering from the party the night before, Adam Supernant and I pick up a couple of our clients for a shopping outing to Dongmen.  It is actually quite brisk &#8211; south China this time of year can go from the 80s to the 50s in one day &#8211; and neither of [...]]]></description>
