		<description><![CDATA[Some of my colleagues and I attended a presentation by Dr. Schabas (by teleconference and remote Powerpoint) titled “Lessons of SARS, H5N1 and pH1N1: Pandemics or Panic-demics?” I thought it was a fantastic presentation. It was well-argued and with a clear conclusion and a strong, logical thought sequence supporting it all the way through. At [...]]]></description>

Do you listen when they ask for spare change? Do you acknowledge them as people? Do you give anything? Do you ever have a conversation? Some of the [...]]]></description>

I may very well take this kind of approach with some educational projects that I have in mind for the new year, but in the meantime, here are some really cool and interesting examples.

		<description><![CDATA[Fanboy is a term used to describe a male who is highly devoted and biased in opinion towards a single subject or hobby within a given field. Fanboy-ism is often prevalent in a field of products, brands or universe of characters where very few competitors (or enemies in fiction, such as comics) exist. I&#8217;ll admit it: I used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a bear of a time getting started with Bixi earlier this summer. Thankfully, my experience as a rider since then has been quite nice. The main thing about Bixi is that it&#8217;s convenient. Particularly for someone who doesn&#8217;t live downtown, Bixi bikes are a great way to get around downtown quickly, economically, and responsibly. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve been interested in the hobbies and pursuits that I&#8217;ve done. It&#8217;s what I have sought in my professional life, and what I am now trying to build. It&#8217;s how I gauge cars, knives, guns, [...]]]></description>

It happens a few times now and then, though, and I was in just one such spontaneous conversation on the subway the other day. I was reading (and still am reading) the book The Millionaire Mind.

		<description><![CDATA[I have been doing some pretty intensive cleaning around my home, and I came upon some old job postings. These are postings for jobs that I applied for, interviewed for, and got. It&#8217;s interesting now to look back on the postings to see just how the gigs matched the postings&#8230; or not. I&#8217;ve got two [...]]]></description>

Yet, I am very glad to have these people as my friends. Sure, we differ on how we see things sometimes. We might even argue very vocally when [...]]]></description>
