		<title>The Colodin Project and Classic X-Factor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up a pretty massive stack of trade paperbacks at Chicago Comic Con 2009 &#8211; those $5 bins (and cheaper, late Sunday) provide a nice way to fill holes in your collection or try out books you might have passed by at full price. Marvel books are particularly plentiful (because of their overprint policies, I presume). I also snagged some indie books from creators in artist alley. So here it is 6 months later and I&#8217;m still wading through my to-read queue. Here&#8217;s a couple I&#8217;ve read in the ...]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Save Our City&#8221; Video and Promotion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

One of my favorite work projects in awhile is the &#8220;Save Our City&#8221; promotion for 105.7 the Point and Shapiro Metal Supply. I&#8217;d been looking for a creative project for our video team that would break away a bit from the usual documentary style of our productions.
Shapiro didn&#8217;t lend itself easily to typical promo ideas outside of your basic radio spots. What can you do to make a metal supply yard exciting for a male 18-34 demographic?
Being a lifelong fan of sci-fi and cartoons, the first thing that came to ...]]></description>

		<title>First Moviegoer Experience of 2010: Up in the Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though I’m very much a film appreciator, 2009 wasn’t a great movie year for me. I just didn’t make it out to the theater more than a handful of times, and several of those were disappointments on one level or another  &#8211; Terminator: Salvation and Nine (the animated one), for instance, and the exceptionally boring Extract. Yet, it’s funny that two of the primary cast members* of Extract are supporting actors in the film I saw, and enjoyed immensely, today.
I started my 2010 movie year right, with a big screen ...]]></description>

		<title>Midwestern Hospitality?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After some day-after-National-Hangover-day laziness (the joyful indolence of those who did not have the Hangover to begin with), @WendyBuske and I reluctantly ventured out into the world of commerce. Boy, was that an ill-thought plan.
Fairview Heights is the primary center of commerce for the Illinois-side of the St. Louis metro area. During the holiday season it becomes a national disaster, as Christmas shoppers dog pile on sale racks and litter Highway 64 with fender benders. You’d expect the pandemonium to slow down a bit...]]></description>

		<title>My Theme for 2010: Who Do You Want to Be?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2010: Doesn’t it sound like the future?
Welcome to TEN. What are we going to call 2010? Is there an official version, and who decides? Is this what that Pearl Jam record was about?
We partied in the New Year with an impromptu gathering at casa de Wendronimo, also celebrating my wife&#8217;s birthday. Double whammy of awesome. With only a few hours of notice for our low-key shindig, we had a full house of merry makers and a full evening of laughs, hugs and good times. We kept it alive, if laid ...]]></description>

		<title>A Christmas Greeting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To all my friends, family, co-workers, assorted acquaintances and good people of earth &#8211; I hope you are having a lovely and fulfilling Christmas! (You know, if you&#8217;re into that kinda thing.)
Some Christmas Day advice: if you&#8217;re hungry, Sonic is open. However, they will forget your $4 popcorn chicken. And your fries. And you&#8217;ll be too distracted by holiday cheer to check the bag before driving home. And it&#8217;s a bit too nasty out to go back for it. And you&#8217;ll be left with mediocre burgers (but tasty tater tots&#8230;). ...]]></description>

		<title>Hustler Hollywood Holiday Gift Guide 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, under a serious short-term deadline, I produced another digital catalog for St. Louis retail store Hustler Hollywood, in conjunction with a promotion on 105.7 the Point. You can view the Flash catalog here (pretty SFW, unless your workplace is really prudish).
This was definitely a &#8220;so many irons&#8221; project &#8211; I contacted models, arranged the shoot, did all the photography, performed all post-production on the photos, designed the catalog and set up the Flash interface.
Because of the aggressive schedule from client sign-off to launch deadline, I wasn&#8217;t able to ...]]></description>

		<title>Another Flooding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a rainy Fall here in the midwest, and when the St. Louis metro gets saturated, basements start flooding. Ours is no exception. Friday night, we returned from work to find the unfinished portion of our basement with standing water, and our bedroom (which is the finished portion of the downstairs) a humid, carpety-bog.
The last time this happened, some 18 months back during a particularly nasty Spring, the rising tide destroyed our carpet and stained some baseboards. But, through fortunate timing and an hours long struggle to contain the ...]]></description>

		<title>Kindness and Generosity at Red Robin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon, my wife (@wendybuske) and I were dining with my sister, Cathy, and her husband, Jack, at the Red Robin restaurant in Edwardsville, IL. We don&#8217;t often get a chance to see Jack and Cathy outside of holiday gatherings, and they don&#8217;t get a chance to escape from our hometown very often.
We were celebrating Jack&#8217;s 25th year of living with a kidney transplant (he is the longest living kidney transplant survivor in America). They don&#8217;t dine out often, so we thought a burger place with a fun twist would ...]]></description>
