		<description><![CDATA[Every time I upgrade Ubuntu it sets these two things back to the defaults. Here are the "quickest ways" I've found to put everything back to normal. One note, before upgrading, know where you saved your wallpaper image, that'll get blasted away as well. 1. Layout, more specifically the "Gnome Classic" layout.

		<title>Demo Energy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was an article on Demo Energy written by Steve Noel that was passed around here at work today. I figured it was worth a response.

		<title>Runners Low</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been working on this without giving it a title or labeling it as a concept that has shape, the runners low. Awful runs, until this year, drove me crazy.

		<title>ScreenShareRoulette</title>
