		<title>Walking to Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For over a year now, I've lived less than a mile away from my company's office in downtown Richmond, Indiana.  And for the first time in my life, on most days I get to and from the office by walking instead of driving.  It's been a really enjoyable shift, and one that I hope I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Super ultra mega-secure EFTPS enrollment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an employer, my company Summersault is required to withhold and then turn in federal taxes from our employee paychecks.  In the past we've turned in those withheld funds by printing out a check, walking it a block down the street to the bank, and getting a receipt.
I recently took the IRS's advice and inquired [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you have enough time in the day?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I've heard some people make the all-too-common assertion that they don't have enough time in the day to get done all of the things they want or need to get done.  I was reminded of an exercise I went through about a year ago, during a period when I was making similar statements, sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Don Bates Jr. campaign for U.S. Senate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Richmond, Indiana businessman Don Bates Jr. is running for election to the U.S. Senate.  It seems somewhat rare that a local person runs for national office, and as a participant in the local political blogging culture, I think that makes me obligated to comment, right?   
Bates has a campaign website, a Facebook page, a [...]]]></description>

On Friday night I had the opportunity to see The Punch Brothers with Chris Thile in concert at Earlham College.  As with many of the artists that Earlham brings to town, I hadn't heard of them when I came in, but when I left I was craving [...]]]></description>

		<title>Superbowl XLIV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few random thoughts on the Superbowl, quite belated in Internet Time:
After the initial total failure of my cable-less schemes for watching the Superbowl online, and the subsequent grumbling trip to an alternate viewing venue, I enjoyed watching the game.  I say "enjoy" as in, "it roused the part of me that enjoys the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is personal lifestyle change effective?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is working hard to make personal changes in our lives, especially when it comes to living sustainably, a futile effort in the face of all the other kinds of unsustainable things going on in the world?  Is personal lifestyle change effective?
I've asked a version of this question before: Must we become the change we wish [...]]]></description>
