		<description><![CDATA[Erik Mauck and others have been working for some time on a documentary about the Austin Time Exchange.  It took a lot of the early start and showed a lot of the ups and downs, evangelists and naysayers. I&#8217;m glad to see their work.

		<title>Open Austin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The City of Austin recently spent several years taking input for the future of the City web page and several rounds of RFPs.
Unfortunately, at the top of every RFP was the demand that the project be Python/Plone based. I ignored every RFP and call for a meeting because Python wasn&#8217;t my area and Plone, even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Custom Properties for Joomla</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Custom Properties is an impressive extension for Joomla that on the high level allows you to tag articles easily.  Beyond that, it has a lot of potential for organizing metadata for your content.

Instead of finishing film school (my check to NYU wasn&#8217;t good for more than a bit), I found myself paying rent, being a grown up and being promoted quickly.  I started studying the field I was in (call center management) and quickly found [...]]]></description>
