		<description><![CDATA[I predict that all advertising will eventually become a bidding system, or pay-per-spot advertising, similar to Google&#8217;s AdWords model. Implementing a bidding system across all electronic forms of mass communication (that are Internet-connected) and having controls in place, will increase the quality of the ads, the competition for these ad spots, and the effectiveness of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the first day I have ever felt it necessary to shampoo my face. Why? I&#8217;m participating in Movember to support the awareness of men&#8217;s health issues, namely cancers, and doing so requires I avoid shaving for the entire month of November. A big thanks to my family and friends who have helped me [...]]]></description>

FYI: I&#8217;m currently listening to the &#8216;Top Gun&#8217; soundtrack.1 November, or &#8220;Movember,&#8221; is dedicated to increasing the awareness of men&#8217;s health risks, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men, by encouraging men everywhere to [...]]]></description>

During today&#8217;s Austin Content Marketing Meetup, Joey McGirr and Fernando Labastida debated the value of relationship marketing and content marketing, respectively. Throughout the discussion, I heard [...]]]></description>

Prior to my meal, as with most meals, I washed my hands. En route to the men&#8217;s room, I noticed a woman mis-read the sign and enter. I stood outside [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attention: Conversationalists - How many senses do humans have? We are taught to believe there are only five senses (thank you, Aristotle), but that does not give one of the Earth&#8217;s most complex creatures nearly enough credit. The fact is, (and I will explain with efficacy), we have more than five senses. Your body is smart [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my way back from Houston, I saw a media placement for a new[!] weight-loss patch. Please keep in mind, when I say media placement, I&#8217;m referring to a re-purposed garage sale sign on an offramp near a truckstop. Just a phone number and the implied promise of losing weight courtesy of a &#8220;new&#8221; patch. Sorry, [...]]]></description>
