		<description><![CDATA[I quit my job at RIM just over a week ago.  After two and a half years there, the days were starting to feel like I was pushing water uphill with a rake, so to speak.  Nothing specific to RIM or the group I was in; the people were smart, the work challenging, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This animated video is from a while ago, but it has recently been making the rounds again.  It provides good background about how the modern monetary system came about, particularly the relationship between money supply and debt, and their role in the economy.
Those of you that have taken any kind of introductory macroeconomics course [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading Fooled by Randomness and its followup, The Black Swan.  Both are must reads for anyone that has money in the financial markets.
There are several themes in the first book, but the two that stood out the most for me are: 1) Stock prices basically behave as a random process; and 2) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been roughly a year since the RIM acquisition, so I thought I&#8217;d give a little post-mortem.
I successfully avoided working for big companies up until last year, until I wasn&#8217;t really given a choice.  The avoidance wasn&#8217;t due to do a bad firsthand experience, just a combination of what I&#8217;d heard and how I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven&#8217;t heard yet (I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised since it&#8217;s been kept quiet), about a month ago RIM bought the company I work for.  The deal closed on July 7th, but didn&#8217;t actually become public knowledge until July 11th.  There was some spotty, mostly online coverage, no press releases.  I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Admit it.  Everyone &#8211; including you &#8211; has a morbid fascination with some type of (perhaps metaphorical) train wreck.  Personally, I like the financial kind.  Whether it&#8217;s someone spending half a month&#8217;s salary on a wallet chain, or a $100 billion dollar hedge fund going up in smoke, I&#8217;m so there.

		<description><![CDATA[Long time no update.  Let&#8217;s see, what&#8217;s new?


Last weekend we went to the Interior Design Show at the CNE.  Overall it probably wasn&#8217;t worth the price of admission, but we did get a few good ideas for our new loft.  The one I like the best is the concept of a &#8220;dressing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A story that a customer told Bonnie at the pharmacy:

A mother driving her daughters to school&#8230;
12-year old daughter:  Mommy, were you a virgin when you married daddy?
The mother almost spits out her coffee.  Then, without making eye contact, cautiously replies:
Mother:  Yes.
A brief pause for dramatic effect, then a voice from the back [...]]]></description>
