		<description><![CDATA[While in San Diego last week, the biggest highlight for me (other than my talk, of course) was the keynote, Malcolm Gladwell.

I furiously took notes [...]]]></description>

As an aside, Sunny San Diego? Are you kidding me? It was sunny, but, man, was it cold! The wind was blowing. Hard. Felt it to my bones. Probably not cold [...]]]></description>

And since I was half-way through before realizing it was non-generic only, I decided to complete it and follow up with this one.
