		<description><![CDATA[My early retirement has ended. It ended a few months ago when I joined Playdom. As with most new jobs, especially in growing companies, I was slammed. I have finally dug myself out of my work debt hole and decided I should finish this post I began when interviewing.
For every gap an a person’s resume, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Graham has an essay on identity that hypothesizes one source of those never-ending arguments that we’ve all been involved in at one point.
I think what religion and politics have in common is that they become part of people&#8217;s identity, and people can never have a fruitful argument about something that&#8217;s part of their identity. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Project Natal is awesome. No question on that. But does it alter business models? I don’t think so.
The announcement that people haven&#8217;t discussed much, at least in positive terms, is moving the Xbox 360 media marketplace to Zune. I see that as far more significant than a new controller.
 
If Project Natal can expand the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post, I played with public numbers for Puzzle Pirates. They just made some more numbers public, so I thought I would see if it validated any of my previous post.
Here are my thoughts about the new numbers.
 
$50 monthly ARPPU for a total of $230,000 means 4,600 paying users each month. ARPU [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have spent the last few months with no job, but not unemployed. To qualify as unemployed, you have to be actively searching for work. I like to say that I’ve been taking “early retirement.” Many people are amazed by and jealous of my ability to do this. My secret is incredibly simple: I don’t [...]]]></description>

Also today, we learn that Facebook just raised more money. What’s it for? Hiring? Capital expenses? Nope. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just posted on my enjoyment of growing plants. Now, it’s time to explain why I like cooking. Though I’m a snob about kitchen tools, I wouldn’t call myself a “foodie.” For me, it’s not about knowing ‘trivia’ about things like fine cheeses and wines. I enjoy understanding cooking and the visceral experience of doing [...]]]></description>

From floor to tip of the flower spike is about 5 feet. This plant was 4 inches tall when I received it in the mail over 5 years ago. Last year, the flower spike grew straight up like this then softened to become pendulous. I place the pot on a shelf about 5 feet up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Feces and sunsets. Intrigued?


 I moved from Seattle to San Francisco a year ago. I’m reminded of Paul Graham’s Cities and Ambitions but won’t cover ambitions here (though I think Seattle’s are far more wholesome). GeekMBA says that when you relocate, you need a backup plan in case you don’t like your new city. I’m [...]]]></description>
