		<title>&#8220;Fuck you and crowdSPRING too.&#8221; &#8211; Who&#8217;s hatin&#8217; on crowdsourcing now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here's an old article, but since I'm sitting at a talk discussing the wisdom of crowds, it seems appropriate. Crowdsourcinging has become an increasingly dominant force on the internet ever since "social media" became a meme. Anyone can produce anything, and distribute/produce it for a fraction of the traditonal cost. This is a big win [...]]]></description>

		<title>NYC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There's something very magical about the largest cities of the world; whether it's in Asia, Europe, or North America, every time I'm in one, I'm inspired by the energy of the citizens, enthusiasm of travelers, to a point where I'm completely content just to walk the streets and watch people go about their day. I've [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;(c) 2010&#8243; is already on the web for massively scalable services? How?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As someone avidly interested in web services and their path from concept in a vision planning room, to the point where they leave their impact on the world, I find it fascinating that Facebook, Microsoft, and Google have changed their (c) 2009 to (c) 2010 on their front pages, but Yahoo, Twitter, Amazon, and even [...]]]></description>

		<title>American citizenship from my own perspective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got an email from my company's Global Migration team about U.S. Naturalization Workshops they're hosting. I laughed for a bit and then smiled at the fact that this is relevant in the company and then that something like this would be offered for free. It would be a 30 minute session, 1:1 with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on black-asian race relations coming from A Good Day to be Black and Sexy (2008)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a chance to watch A Good Day to be Black and Sexy (2008) earlier today; let me definitely say "Thank you Netflix!" If it wasn't for you, I would never have the fortune to find completely random stuff like this that I would come to enjoy. I'll admit, before I watched the film, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who needs names when you have memes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the most awesome fun discussions with some CouchSurfers last Friday. It was my first time hanging out with members of this massive community, and it was a great one. I swear, I think I'm developing a little bit of hippie-ness inside of me after living in Seattle for nearly a year. Meeting new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Mores of the 21st Century</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've realized why I've been tweeting and Facebook PSUing so much: Because right now, I have an excess of a desire to share awesome things that I've read and experienced! So, instead of cluttering up my friends' Twitter feeds, Facebook home pages, and incessantly getting CAPCHA challenges from Facebook, I'll make a compilation post of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Entry 2 &#8211; 7/7/2009 &#8211; Korea, Korean, and Koreans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The more time I spend here, the more I realize that there is so much that I don't know about the place, the language, and the people that I had called my home for 7 years. Having spend half of my elementary years and nearly all of my middle school years here, I often feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(If you have been tagged, it means you're mentioned--probably because I think we should meet up over the next week!) I don't think it would be a complete trip without taking some time to reflect upon it so here we go. Two days ago, it you asked what my July 4th plans were, I would've [...]]]></description>
