		<title>T-Rex is adorable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tyrannosaurus Rex, the &#8220;tyrant lizard king.&#8221;  Ferocious, unstoppable beast or adorably cute and misunderstood?  I think the latter.  I love T-Rex (and you too, Stegosaurus).  Here are some adorable T-Rex products that will make you love him too (clicky for more): See and Say:]]></description>

		<title>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day, you awkward souls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why not use a holiday as an excuse to resurrect from the blog grave? This site is now a zombie, fully animate and ready to partake in some brains. I was looking for funny geek Valentines to post on my Facebook and just wasn&#8217;t finding a good site that had a bunch all in one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blizzard backs down on real names, now what?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this past week, WoW players threw a fit when Blizzard announced that upon release of Starcraft II they would be forcing players to use their real names in the online forums. This news came on the heels of some really innovative things Blizzard has been doing with Battle.net. Similar to Steam&#8216;s model but just [...]]]></description>

		<title>You buy your glasses at the eye doctor? That&#8217;s so 1999.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I make a lot of posts about finding deals online. What can I say? I&#8217;m a bargain girl. But lately, the subject of glasses has come up a lot. The necessary evil. Glasses are one of those things you have to have in order to see but they cost a lot. Most people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gettin&#8217; down on the FarmVille</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love FarmVille. The first step is admitting it. If you don&#8217;t know, FarmVille is an application game by Zynga on Facebook. The goal of the game is to manage a virtual farm by planting crops and orchards, raising animals and harvesting/collecting the fruits of your labors. As you play, you gain both gold and [...]]]></description>

		<title>As #HAPPO as a job seeker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing I love more than social networking being used for a greater good. In these hard economics times we need to stick together and help each other. Thus was born helpaprproout.com. Help a PR Pro Out Day, or #HAPPO on Twitter, is a day for job seekers and employers in the PR field [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lockerz: I just don&#8217;t get it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last post, I talked about sites I believe are legitimate ways of earning money or prizes online. Now I’m going to talk about a site I am completely unsure of. I make no promises to anyone that joins Lockerz. The premise of Lockerz is that you join their site and earn &#8220;ptz&#8221; by answering a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winning online &#8230; this is not a scam &#8230; I think.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many people who know me know I love legit ways of winning things and making money on the Internet — the trouble is finding the legitimate sites. For the most part, you can&#8217;t go wrong on sweepstakes and contests sponsored by corporations. For instance, I won the Razer Carcharias headset from Mountain Dew when they [...]]]></description>

		<title>99 DARPA balloons for the Internet&#8217;s birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know DARPA is still around? You know, those guys that basically invented the Internet (hint: not Al Gore). I always assumed it was sort of absorbed by other government agencies/bureaucracies but apparently they are alive and kicking. Sadly, their Web site is a little boring and unimpressive, but that&#8217;s beside the point. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fanny faux pas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You think you get a lot of spam e-mails? Try being an editor for a newspaper. The amount of spam I receive is astounding, and most of it is written like a press release trying to entice me into thinking their product is awesome enough to let the entire population of Hugo, Okla. know about [...]]]></description>
