		<title>The Rooster Who Crowed Too Soon (A Fable)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was the rooster&#8217;s job to make the sun come up every morning. He would stand atop the fencepost, thrust his chest out, and crow, just as the sun first began to light the eastern sky. With each crow, the sun inched a little higher in the sky, until it was fully risen. Then the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overlooked Aspects of Branding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we talk to a client about branding, the response we get is often &#8220;Oh, I have a logo.&#8221; But a logo isn&#8217;t branding. It really isn&#8217;t even the START of branding.
Branding is far more comprehensive. It is as much an emotional thing as a visual one. It includes all of these things, and probably [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Healthy&#8221; Foods that Aren&#8217;t</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Periodically, a new study will be released by some research institute or other, telling us that something else we love isn&#8217;t good for us. The medical community will gradually adopt the rhetoric, and repeat the party line about this thing being bad for us because this or that study showed it to be so. Then [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Humble Brown Button Mushroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was the most commonly cultivated commercial mushroom until mid-20th century. Now, most people don&#8217;t even know that it exists.
Sometime in the early part of the 20th century, a mushroom farmer who grew brown button mushrooms for the commercial markets decided to propagate a mutant mushroom. Sometimes amidst all those brown mushrooms, there would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Automation Work for Small Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Automation is the bane of our existence. We ask for help from any company out there and we have to ramble our way through phone menus that drive us nuts, or support menus on the internet that have everything but the option that we need.
Gotta love those menus that pre-determine your needs: Would you like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nature Doesn&#8217;t Use an Autoclave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was studying up on propagating mushroom spawn. The instructions I found at first started with an emphasis on requiring a clean room, or an air filtration hood, HEPA filters, an autoclave, 90% wood alcohol and chlorine, and pasteurization equipment. They babbled on about agar and petri dishes. By the time I was finished reading [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cutting Firewood for Extra Cash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember cutting firewood with my father. He&#8217;d use the chainsaw, and us kids would stack. It seemed that he cut just about as fast as we could stack. There were usually two or three of us. I&#8217;d also used a chainsaw plenty in my teen years, and a little since then. So when a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Polyculture Farming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So what the heck does that mean anyway? Polyculture means more than one culture -  and in farming, it means you raise crops and animals, in a synergistic environment that BUILDS on itself, instead of CONSUMING.
If you delve into gardening books, you won&#8217;t get far in most of them before they start babbling about soil [...]]]></description>
