		<description><![CDATA[It feels strangely good to get back to writing again.  I&#8217;ve been oddly silent for a few months, for a reason that I&#8217;m about to explain.  During this time I learned a lesson about what really drives me to do this, and how hard it is not to write.

		<description><![CDATA[The last several weeks have been rather crazy as we had our official launch.   Sometimes things don&#8217;t go according to plan, but work out great anyhow.  I&#8217;ve had a number of interviews, and it amazes me how many people seem to quickly &#8220;get&#8221; what we&#8217;re trying to do.  We&#8217;re more than free at downtoearth.com.  We&#8217;re [...]]]></description>
