		<title>What Makes It Worth It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You should know by now that I&#8217;m a huge nerd. One of my prouder nerdy accomplishments was developing the MLS Elo ratings. Since posting those ratings and the pdf file that explains how I formulated everything I&#8217;ve received a couple e-mails a month from people asking for advice on how to do something similar or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Well Done Portland Timbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Portland Timbers just put out a 3D design of what PGE Park will look like after the renovations to make it soccer-specific. It&#8217;s pretty awesome as you can see below. That&#8217;s not the only awesome part though. They&#8217;ve also partnered with io-media to create a really cool application where you can see the view [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two (Three?) Posts on Teams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past few days I&#8217;ve come across two good blog posts about the makeup of a team in a startup company. The first is Hackers and Hustlers from the Learn to Duck blog by Micah Baldwin. This advice is for the earliest of early stage companies and lays out the two people you need; [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Hulu Talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like talking about Hulu for some reason. Maybe it&#8217;s because I use the service so much, maybe it&#8217;s because I feel like I understand the mind of the average tv watcher, I don&#8217;t know. There was a pretty interesting article on TechDirt last week about why Hulu may be too nice for their own [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to make $140k in 13 seconds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Start with an amazing Tim Howard outlet throw, add in a great Landon Donovan run, a layoff to a streaking Jozy Altidore, low driven cross to Clint Dempsey, a stellar save by the Algerian keeper (who was their best player all day), and then top it all off with Landon crashing in for the rebound [...]]]></description>

		<title>What 10 Years Means</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was an eye-opening post on the arstechnica forum yesterday (greatest first post ever?) that compares the internal power of a 2000 iMac computer with the new iPhone 4 set to be released this Thursday. I&#8217;m no regular over there, but this comparison has been spreading across this nerd-o-sphere pretty quickly since then. 2000 iMac [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fred Wilson &#8211; 10 Ways To Be Your Own Boss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A great 20 minute talk from Fred Wilson about 10 ways to be your own boss. I would also recommend checking out the comments of when he posted this on his blog. Fred&#8217;s comments section is one of the best places to see smart people gather and share their opinions.]]></description>

		<title>Books 16 and 17: ESPN The Company and Huck Finn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two books, short reviews this time. First, ESPN The Company. This book was written by Dr. Anthony Smith who worked for a number of years as a consultant for ESPN. He lays out the fascinating history of how the company was started in rural Connecticut and how the network was able to develop and sustain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can StarStreet Sports get this right?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[StarStreet Sports is the latest company to throw their hat into the &#8220;stock market for sports&#8221; ring. Brad Feld has a post up with a little information on this TechStars company and a piece they did for CNN recently. Between my love of sports and background of gambling to pay my way through undergrad there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book 15: The Third Policeman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took 9 books, but I finally got back around to reading a second fiction book. The Third Policeman by Flann O&#8217;Brien (a pen name for Brian O&#8217;Nolan) came to me on two fronts: first was the fact that it was featured on Lost, and second was a recommendation by Keith McGreggor during the weekly [...]]]></description>

		<title>A couple side projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been keeping busy lately with side projects as I continue networking and trying to find the perfect job. Obviously one of my passions is soccer and one of the least appreciated parts of American soccer (and that&#8217;s saying something) is the US Open Cup. This is the longest continually running soccer competition in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book 14: Crush It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fourteenth book in my quest is Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk. I know I said that I was going to read fewer business books, but I actually finished this book a couple weeks ago so this doesn&#8217;t count. Now, I&#8217;ve actually read this book twice so I&#8217;m clearly a big fan of it. Gary [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Goal USA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge soccer fan.  I&#8217;m probably in the top 0.03% of MLS fans, so much so that I created an Elo Rating system for MLS teams.  I made the ESPN broadcast and US Soccer highlight reel while sitting front row with 27,000 of my closest friends in Nashville at the US/Trinidad World Cup Qualifier [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book 13: Which Lie Did I Tell?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For book 13 I went back to William Goldman, author of the 5th book I read, for Which Lie Did I Tell: More Adventures in the Screen Trade. It&#8217;s the same format as the first book with a bunch of stories about his experiences writing Hollywood screenplays and some advice for people who want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hulu&#8217;s Freemium Strategy is Both Right and Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hulu made some noise recently about it&#8217;s new freemium pricing strategy. Under this new plan, the most recent 5 episodes of shows would be available for free, just how it is now. However, if you wanted to see older episodes you could sign up for a $9.95/month subscription and see those as well. This isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
