					<description><![CDATA[When deciding on if I should go to grad school, I spent serious effort deciding if I could invest the time needed to do the studies properly. I had recently gone back to school to finish my bachelors, so I had already reduced my commitments. But it goes without saying, grad school is harder than undergrad. So how much time should I invest?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Can news be factual and biased? Yes, absolutely! In the modern era of "fake news" and information sources trying to stand out as reputable, there is a growing trend to highlight fact-based research methods. This is great, and definitely a trend I hope continues, but touting something as factual, to imply it is therefore unbiased, is greatly misleading.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Those born in the mid-1970s will see the world’s population double in their lifetime, from 4 billion, in 1974, to 8 billion, in 2023 (Worldometers, 2017). There is no shortage of discussions on what the maximum sustainable population of the world is, but two things are not debated: Our world's population is growing at an unprecedented rate, and we need to further increase agricultural production capacity. Our current food production practices will not keep up with the growing demand. Our inability to increase production levels in pace with population expansion is a growing problem, caused in large part by the slowing rate of yield increases due to technological and scientific advancement, environmental issues such as weather patterns, and waste due to poor infrastructure and corruption.]]></description>

People will usually forgive poor video quality but they have no patience for poor audio quality &#8211; especially for educational content. I can show you a great mic for about $20 US and it will work with a phone, [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I hear a lot of bad advice on how much to charge for freelancing that leaves good money on the table. The most commonly suggested method is the &#8220;cost plus&#8221; style, where you calculate your desired hourly rate, multiply it by hours worked and get your cost. Don&#8217;t use this method, there is a better [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have good news and bad news for you. SPDY is out (also known as HTTP/2), and it&#8217;s well supported enough that we&#8217;re seeing it in more places. SPDY, pronounced Speedy, is a new web protocol to replace HTTP and promises to make web browsing both faster, safer and more secure. It&#8217;s quite common for [...]]]></description>

I always answer, &#8220;you should start a business.&#8221; Usually I&#8217;ll include suggestions based on what I know about the person who is looking for work. In my opinion, there is no better time in life to start a business than as a teen. [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have written a lot of non-fiction in my life. Documentation, tutorials, sales brochures, reports and more. Since I was a teenager I&#8217;ve wanted to write a novel, and recently I did. That novel is very rough, naive in so many ways, and probably needs a full rewrite. I am continuing to write non-fiction, but [...]]]></description>
