		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I said it.  And any of you who are WordPress fanatics probably already know about it.  But I, being a lowly developer still on sabbatical, just heard about it this morning.  I received an email from an old colleague of mine to inform me of this fun new release.  
Rumor has it that WordPress 3.0 will be released on May 1, 2010 (just in time for my birthday!), and that [...]

		<description><![CDATA[My husband has a master&#8217;s in Business, and he&#8217;s the marketing manager at work.  And yet, he&#8217;s never really helped me with my business.  Ouch, that sounds harsh!  What I mean is, he&#8217;s very supportive of me and my business.  But when I fire marketing or business-running related questions at him, he sort of shrugs it off, saying he&#8217;s not sure how to answer it.  (I think it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s [...]

However, I didn&#8217;t tie up most of my &#8220;loose ends&#8221; until pretty much the New Year.  &#60;internal musing>I wonder if that makes it okay to say that my sabbatical actually started January 2010&#8230;&#60;/internal musing> Since then, I&#8217;ve been doing pretty much what I thought I&#8217;d be doing.
Nothing.
Ohhhh&#8230;. I know that sounds bad.  (Well, except for the people that do think that the words &#8220;going [...]

I was just saying this morning, it amazes me how I&#8217;m on sabbatical, but I&#8217;m busier now than I was when I wasn&#8217;t! (OMG &#8211; that has to be some kind of grammatical nightmare right there.)
Anyway, recently I&#8217;ve had a lot of people around me (not directly to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So, an interesting discussion came up yesterday on the WDG List in regards to shopping carts.  I&#8217;m not going to delve into the whole thing (and the list of recommended carts the ladies on the list really went for), but one of the experts on the list responded to my interest in Magento.
Now, if you follow me at all, you&#8217;ll know that I&#8217;m moving away from ZenCart as the eCommerce system I know (I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here I am, it&#8217;s a Thursday morning, and I feel like I&#8217;m walking back into my office after a looooong painful holiday. That statement is partially true because I actually was away for the holidays, but the painful part is because upon my return, I came down with the flu.  I did manage to make it into my office a few times, but I couldn&#8217;t do much that was worth anything (as you can [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So, in these first two weeks of the New Year, I&#8217;ve uncovered a few things about myself &#8211; my limitations and expectations, and how reality is meshing with them all.  Especially over this weekend, since I&#8217;ve literally been forced to sit in bed with nothing more to entertain me than my own thoughts (well, when I wasn&#8217;t spiking a fever.  Dang flu.)
Number one is, this first couple of months of this sabbatical have [...]

I had a reason, though&#8230; I wen to West Virginia to visit with my family and we were down there for almost 2 weeks.  My mom doesn&#8217;t have a great internet connection and&#8230; well, we tend to not spend our time with electronic devices anyway.
So, that being said, I get &#8220;Inglorious Basterds&#8221; as a [...]

		<description><![CDATA[With a combination of GeekTool and a little teensy bit o' Google Analytics knowhow, you can ensure that GA isn't including your visits to your own site as part of their reports.  If you're a developer (or someone who frequently visits their own site) this can come in really handy to assist in accurate reporting!
