		<title>Obsessing Over Esquire’s Brilliant Roger Ebert Profile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in awhile a piece of journalism just grabs hold of you, sinks its teeth in and takes over your soul. And I mean that in the best way possible.
I read Chris Jones’s Esquire magazine profile of Roger Ebert last week, and I still can’t shake it. It was moving, fascinating, funny and heartbreaking. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discovered: Why I Love the Olympics (Video Edition!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 2010 Winter Olympics kick off this evening, and I am ready to soak in 2 weeks of sport, endurance, heartbreak, joy and Bob Costas. Let&#8217;s do this.
I&#8217;ve loved the Olympics for as long as I can remember. One of my all time favorite gifts was the U.S.A gymnastics leotard, ala Mary Lou Retton, that my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discovered: Map of the U.S.A.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Discovered&#8221; is a new series where I&#8217;ll share my favorite finds. Little treats that I find delightful, pretty, charming, creative. Sort of an amuse-bouche but without mysterious, pretentious meats.
Map of the U.S.A., by Hugh MacLeod

I love this, not so much because it accurately represents the qualities of the United States, but because it just reminds me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Editor’s Note: TOMS Shoes and Social Enterprise Chic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TOMS Shoes has become a hit in both the business and fashion worlds while doing its part to help those who need it.
If you’ve somehow not heard of the company and its one-for-one mission, here it is: for every pair of shoes TOMS sells, it gives away one pair to a needy child. (“TOMS” comes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Searching for Comedy in Higher Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a blast in college. Yes, I worked hard, but I also screamed at the top of my lungs at Longhorn football games, played ultimate Frisbee in the park, wandered around the Drag for no reason at all and got excited about ordering a #1 combo from Junior, the best and most famous Wendy’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 Signs You&#8217;re at Home in a New City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know that horribly awkward feeling you have when you attend someone&#8217;s wedding or birthday party but you don&#8217;t know anyone other than the host? A quick hello to the one person you&#8217;re comfortable with and then two hours of guessing what other people are talking about while they ignore you. (Ok so maybe if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Editor’s Note: Is it Wrong to Call it Swine Flu?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just published the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Texas, the magazine for UT’s McCombs School of Business. I’m managing editor and wrote the cover story, “Diagnosing the H1N1 Pandemic.”
Business school? Isn’t that where they study boring things like derivatives and fair-value accounting? What does a global health emergency have to do with business school?
Well, one [...]]]></description>

		<title>How AdoramaPix Saved Christmas: A PR Case Study</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can spend enormous amounts of time and money on strategic, professional PR, but let’s face it: for any public-facing company, good public relations starts with good customer service.
I’m a PR professional and a customer service snob, so when I had an amazing, above-and-beyond, month-long experience with online photography shop AdormaPix, I had to blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Media Rejection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Twitter’s new lists feature offers users a much-needed way to organize who you follow and group them into custom categories. And since you can see what lists others have placed you in, it’s also a fascinating and useful way to see how other tweeters think about you or your brand.
I discovered this rather rudely when [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Am a Grad School Widow*</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’ve lost my husband. He’s crossed over to a mysterious, distant plane where I cannot visit. It’s called grad school.
Oh sure, he tries to invite me into that world, showing me projects he’s working on and sharing a few stories from class. We’ve even spent time together with some of his classmates, exploring Mt. Lemmon [...]]]></description>
