		<title>The National Broadband Plan&#8217;s Adoption Rates and Operational Costs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shameless self-promotion time!
For the past couple of months, among other areas of work, I have been consulting for the Federal Communications Commission on the National Broadband Plan. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar, the executive summary abides:
Congress directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop a National Broadband Plan to ensure every American has “access to broadband capability.” [...]]]></description>

		<title>Austin&#8217;s Red Line Death</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the Technology Futures Inc Conference held this past week at the Courtyard Marriott downtown, a friend asked me what that &#8220;nearby train station&#8221; was for. Was it a way to get around Austin?
Sadly, the answer &#8211; for the past 2 years and counting &#8211; is NO. Sure it looks impressive, connecting to the Austin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sandy Leeds at His Finest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the financial news coming out of the blah-osphere is downright monotonous. A jobs report here, earnings announcement there. If you&#8217;re not watching CNBS 18 hours a day (God help you if you are) the dots don&#8217;t exactly connect on their own. At least that&#8217;s my experience.
Anyway, there&#8217;s some help out there for you, [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Is Not How You Want To Be Remembered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the news of Bruce Wasserstein&#8217;s death (WSJ.com):
No plans for a memorial service have been announced. Wednesday evening, about 50 Lazard partners got together at the companys office near the top of Rockefeller Center to hold a quiet memorial for Mr. Wasserstein, said two people in attendance. As several more partners listened in on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>MIddle seat death</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just celebrated my 18-month anniversary at the &#8220;new&#8221; gig, Duff &#038; Phelps. Of course, I love it here. Plenty of things that make the work an absolute joy &#8212; challenging work (you tell me how much 750,000 telephone poles are worth), demanding clients (if they didn&#8217;t care they wouldn&#8217;t ask questions), and smart coworkers [...]]]></description>

Admittedly, this is a LIFE LONG DREAM of mine. Too bad you can&#8217;t make money with it, but at least the perks are nice when you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monetization? No rush.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy reading these articles on the hunt for Facebook and Twitter revenue, purely for the comedic effect. Oh SURE, there&#8217;s no rush to make money&#8230;after all, they&#8217;re just trying to flip it in a few years, so let &#8220;monetization&#8221; be the next guy&#8217;s problem.
Truth be told, there is a little money being made&#8230;by the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Journalism&#8217;s Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A refreshing viewpoint on the future of journalism from the editor of MIT&#8217;s Technology Review. Respecting the fact that journalism in 5, 10, 20 years isn&#8217;t a giant sucking abyss, or worst yet, a nonprofit endeavor. There is money to be made.
