		<title>The Rat Pack Manifesto&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK guys. Every couple years I feel the need to send this out. I don&#8217;t even know how I came across it. It was published in DrunkardMagazine.com back in 2004, and I probably shouldn&#8217;t be reproducing it here without permission from lawyers and such, but sometimes ya gotta just beg forgiveness. Anyway, it&#8217;s a brilliant [...]]]></description>

		<title>UX and the Harley Shovelhead.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chances are, whatever you know about Harley&#8217;s isn&#8217;t about the Shovelhead. The Shovelhead was a kind of Harley engine that powered all their bikes throughout the 70&#8242;s. They dressed them up a lot of ways, but the engine was basically the same. They were terrible. They were wonderful. And most likely, if you were taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>The meat won.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a grand experiment. I went Vegan for almost two years. No meat. No cheese. No nothing that was ever part of anything that walked, crawled, swam or waddled. I felt so proud. I felt so socially responsible. I fell asleep at odd hours. Ya see, while it&#8217;s a grand gesture, it&#8217;s a serious [...]]]></description>

		<title>The neverending pursuit of The Best Stuff.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love great design. And so does the whole world. Look at Apple. They&#8217;ve done very well competing in a business where everyone thought the cheapest would win. But they approached the market with the idea of making truly beautifully designed products and do you ANYONE that doesnt own an Apple product? I bet you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Drivel that Defines Us.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some phrases stay with forever for reasons we&#8217;ll never fully understand. “Whither goeth thou America, in thy big black car, in the night.” Some phrases make us laugh and get used over and over again. “You fucked up. You trusted us.” “Yes Madam, I am drunk. And you are ugly and tomorrow I will be [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Ad Guy sells out.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sold out. I sold The Ad Ranch. My baby. My ad agency. That thing that defined who the hell I was (well, kinda). I had the agency for more than a dozen years. A dozen years. A dozen years. Had to repeat that. For an Ad Guy, that is several centuries. We Ad Guys [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Ad Guy finally gets football.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK. I’ve never been a football fan. Never got it. Who cares. It’s a game. Games are silly wastes of time. The world will keep spinning if we win or lose. I’ve just never been competitive that way. Blame my upbringing I suppose. I grew up in LA. A city of several billion without a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lesson from my old friend, Hunter S. Thompson.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK. So I never actually MET Hunter S. Thompson. So he&#8217;s not actually a &#8220;friend,&#8221; not even in the Facebook kinda way. But I&#8217;ve always admired how he though and how he communicated his thinking. His communication skills always amazed me and I&#8217;ve read nearly everything he&#8217;s ever written. I think had he not been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking for the Capo d&#8217;astro bar. The Ad Guy gets all choked up.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re an Ad Guy you probably know about this ad. I remember reading it back in design school somewhere back in the early 80&#8242;s. It inspired me and, really, has been the driving philosophy for everything I&#8217;ve done since. So I got to thinking that maybe I could find the original piece that I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fable of the Toxic Teapot.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love tea. I drink gallons of the stuff. Mostly green tea but lately a lot of those girly herbal mixes. So a couple years back I discovered those electric teapots. Fill it full of water, set it on the base and it cooks your water up. Great invention. Given them away as gifts and [...]]]></description>
