		<title>Newsflash! Pencil Bugs Becoming Extinct</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2005, quite by accident, a little creature was discovered by a nine-year-old boy named Jason O&#8217;Neill.  The small, round creature was colorful and very playful. It loved to sit on top of Jason&#8217;s pencil as he did his homework and wrap its black, fuzzy body around the pencil. Before long, Jason found more and more [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Very Beary Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Where did the time go,&#8221; is usually something you hear old people say.  But even for me, I wonder where this whole year went too.  It seems like it was summer not too long ago and that I just started high school last week. With Christmas right around the corner, I  just finished my 2nd [...]]]></description>

		<title>California School for the Deaf Presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, November 19, I had the privilege to giving a presentation at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside. It was the most fun I have had in a long time.

		<title>The Business Golden Rule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you left a voice mail, email, or even a text message and haven&#8217;t gotten any response or at least not soon enough? It shouldn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s a personal situation or a business one. Everyone deserves to be recognized. It is especially important in business. A good business person is one that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commitments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the best tips for business or life in general is that when you make a commitment, you keep it. If you don&#8217;t keep your commitments, it&#8217;s the quickest way to have people not trust or believe you. My parents have had this saying for as long as I can remember. &#8220;Say what you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audacity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you like editing songs or sounds, try this free program called Audacity. I originally found this program when looking for a way to &#8220;chipmunk&#8221; a song. (To make it sound like the Alvin and the Chipmunks.) I also found it very useful for bleeping out bad words in a song. After I bleeped out the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Circles &#8211; What type are you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the simplest definition, a circle is a basic shape without an opening or end. Have you ever noticed how people&#8217;s behaviors sometimes resemble a circle? It doesn&#8217;t seem to matter the age of the people involved either, although kids seem to &#8220;circle&#8221; more than adults. I have always been a pretty observant person. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a Maze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably everyone has done a puzzle maze at one time in their life.  Some people may have even had the fun of running through a corn maze that usually is done around Halloween. No matter which form you do, mazes can be fun but also frustrating.  There are so many options and usually only one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On September 18, 2010, I spoke at the TEDxRedmond conference. It was organized by 12-year-old Adora Svitak, who has many accomplishments, one of them being a published author with her first book, Flying Fingers, at age seven.
