		<title>It Begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started on my Empire Strikes Back cards today. I&#8217;ve got 106 total, so I&#8217;m almost there.
This stock has a very dark backgrounds, making it almost impossible to color. I might try to do some in black and white, but I&#8217;m never quite as happy as I am with colors. We&#8217;ll see how it goes [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Digs!</title>

		<title>Bejeweled Blitz, the Scourge of Productivity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I‚Äôve started playing Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. Not normally a Facebook gamer, I‚Äôve recently been challenged and well, I‚Äôm not going to let that go. While trying to become the best Bejeweler there is, I‚Äôve noticed there are several things I haven‚Äôt been getting done because of it. Eating, for instance. While waiting for the game to tally my score, I stopped to think about what other important things have gone unfinished due to this evil game.]]></description>

		<title>Lore Investigations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago I had the opportunity to work with a friend of mine, Amanda Jones, on a story idea I had. As a sort of tryout for Wonderdog, I had Matt Hebb and Jason Worthington do the art work. I hadn&#8217;t found the awesomeness that is Tracy Bailey at this time, so Matt&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Site Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on a new design for this site. Similar styles, just a wider design for more modern monitors and an update of color &#38; contrast. Feel free to preview the progress, though keep in mind some images and links will not work. I&#8217;m currently using ExpressionEngine as my CMS for this site. It works [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commissions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a reminder, I&#8217;m still open for commissions, (full price sheet here). I&#8217;m currently working two jobs and one of them may be ending soon. So I&#8217;ll be looking for more gainful employment soon. Once that happens, I may need to close my commissions for a while, depending on the schedule. So if you&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>
